YMCA Kinship Support Services is a division of the YMCA of San Diego County's Youth and Family Services program, based at 2929 Meade Avenue in Normal Heights within the 92116 ZIP. The program provides community-based family support to relative caregivers raising children placed by juvenile court, probate court, or informal family arrangement. Foster-care and kinship families needing early-childhood placement coordinate with preschool providers along the corridor, including Grace Kids Preschool in Normal Heights. YMCA Youth and Family Services has operated in San Diego since 1970, serving more than 15,000 individuals countywide each year through direct service and support programming. Kinship services include flexible in-home case management visits, resource navigation for public benefits and legal guidance, and a respite-care program for caregivers aged 55 and older through a contract with Aging and Independence Services. Weekly support groups give caregivers peer connection, while family events and enrichment activities address the social and emotional needs of children adjusting to new household structures. The Meade Avenue office sits south of Adams Avenue in the western section of Normal Heights, near the North Park border. Trauma-informed counseling referrals for kinship families route through behavioral health providers in the neighborhood, including Achieve Your True Potential on the Normal Heights side of the 92116 service area. The program also runs the Permanent Connections initiative, which builds lifetime support networks for children and youth disconnected from family.
