Grand Families - GrandFacts Sheets
Resource Details
Across the United States, almost 7.8 million children are living in homes where grandparents or other relatives are the householders. These families are often called “grandfamilies.” To better serve children, families and older adults, educators and program practitioners need access to information about these key resources. Therefore, in a unique national partnership, several organizations have created the GrandFacts: State Fact Sheets for Grandparents and Other Relatives Raising Children.
These 52 fully updated state-specific GrandFacts Fact Sheets provide:
- Data
- Key state and local programs and resources
- Public benefits
- Educational assistance
- Legal relationship options
- State laws
