In a unique national partnership, AARP, Child Welfare League of America, Children's Defense Fund, and Generations United have created fact sheets containing the most up-to-date state information related to grandfamilies, including:

• Census data on the number of grandparent caregivers
• A comprehensive list of kinship care family resources and services
• State foster care policies for kinship caregivers
• Information about key public benefits programs
• State kinship care laws

Below are links to kinship care fact sheets for each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia.

You will need Acrobat Reader to view the pdf files. The state fact sheets are large documents and can take a while to download.
