Generations United has a new fact sheet on grandfamilies and kinship families. It incorporates data, policy and advocacy recommendations, infographics, and quotes from family members. Data related to the number of children living in grandfamilies and kinship families and the racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic characteristics of families in which grandparents are raising their grandchildren are included. The fact sheet also provides details about the challenges these families face, from legal and financial issues to physical and mental health, housing, and education. See the fact sheet here.
