"African American children are more likely to live in grandfamilies (aka grandparents and other relatives raising grandchildren, kinship care) than the general population of children," says this article from PRNewswire. "These children are dramatically overrepresented both in kinship foster care and among grandfamilies who live outside the formal foster care system."
The article calls attention to Generations United's new tool kit, which "provides essential information to help organizations better serve African American grandfamilies during [the COVID-19 crisis] and into the future."
