OhioKAN Partner

Welcome Families

 

OhioKAN Program

Supported by the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services, OhioKAN and Northeast Ohio Adoption Services will work together to combine local knowledge with statewide resources to offer all adoptive and kinship family support navigating the various programs available to them.

NOAS is proud to partner with OhioKAN, a statewide flexible and responsive kinship and adoption navigator program designed to assist children, caregivers, and families.

With the support of dedicated NOAS staff, OhioKAN’s 100% free services will help kinship and adoptive families in the following counties navigate and connect with all of the resources available locally and statewide:
● Ashtabula
● Columbiana
● Geauga
● Lake
● Mahoning
● Portage
● Stark
● Trumbull
