Grandfamily Housing Act: Grants for Onsite Support Services for Kinship Families.
This Act establishes a new federal grant program for owners of housing units occupied by intergenerational families (e.g., grandparents raising grandchildren). The goal is to fund essential onsite services, such as tutoring, afterschool care, and health care coordination, directly within their residential properties. This initiative aims to provide better social and educational support for these families where they live.
Key points
Property owners housing grandfamilies can receive grants to hire service coordinators who will organize tutoring, health services, and age-appropriate activities for the children.
Funds can be used for retrofitting and maintaining common areas within the property to facilitate the provision of these support programs.
The program ensures compliance with the Fair Housing Act and extends protections under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) to participating families.
