Generations United: Grandfamilies.org
Posted 4/29/2020 (updated 3/28/2024)
Generations United's National Center on Grandfamilies works to enact policies and promote programs to help grandfamilies address challenges.
Grandfamilies.org serves as a national legal resource in support of grandfamilies within and outside the child welfare system. Its goals are to:
- Educate individuals about state laws, legislation and policy in support of grandfamilies
- Assist interested policymakers, advocates, caregivers, and attorneys in exploring policy options to support relatives and the children in their care
- Provide technical assistance and training
A searchable database of relevant state laws, policy manuals, and administrative codes and downloadable, resource-rich fact sheets for each state are among the free services available.
