Because family matters.

Your family is our family.

HALOS serves grandparents, other relatives, and family friends who are raising children to keep them out of foster care with strangers.

Our Mission

The mission of HALOS is to equip kinship caregivers for success, provide resources that support safe and thriving children, and advocate for a kin-first South Carolina.

Kinship care keeps kids, who might otherwise go into foster care, with grandparents, relatives, or close family friends which provides stability and gives children a feeling of identity and belonging.
