Across the United States, more than 6 million children are being raised in households
headed by grandparents and other relatives; 2.5 million children are in these households
without any parents present. As the children's parents struggle with substance abuse, mental
illness, incarceration, economic hardship, divorce, domestic violence, and other challenges,
these caregivers provide a vital safety net to children inside and outside of the foster care
system. This fact sheet provides important information and resources for the grandparents
and other relatives raising children in your state.
