Reestablishes a national center to help families where grandparents or other relatives raise children.
This bill would bring back a national center that helps families where grandparents or other relatives are raising children. It sets aside $10 million to provide training and resources to groups that support these families. This support would especially target those with older caregivers or children with disabilities. This means better support and services for these unique family structures.
Today, the National Technical Assistance Center on Grandfamilies and Kinship Families is not active, meaning organizations serving these families lack a central resource for training and coordination. If this bill passes, a reestablished center would receive $10,000,000 for the government's budget year 2027. This funding would provide training and resources to groups helping grandfamilies and kinship families. There would be a special focus on older caregivers and children with disabilities.
