This article presents descriptive and preliminary findings from a study of African American female kinship caregiver residents of San Francisco who received a case-managed supportive services intervention. After describing the methodology and instrumentation, we present characteristics of caregivers and children and then describe results that measured family needs, physical and mental health, and satisfaction with social support. Data from consumer satisfaction measures are also presented. The findings show decreased needs following the intervention and also improvement in general health and satisfaction with social support. Scores of clients' satisfaction with services were uniformly high. We discuss these results as they bear on other research and practice
