Greetings BECs,

 

I just wanted to share with you this fascinating report on grandfamilies, which sheds light on the financial impact of older relatives caring for children in lower-income communities. This topic came up during one of my recent site visits and has come up with a few other BECs as well. The report is from 2015, but it still provides valuable insights, especially if you are just learning of this growing issue.

 

Special thanks to our BEC in New Mexico, Rio Arriba County Health and Human Services Department for sharing this great resource!
