Family Matters: Multigenerational living is on the rise and here to stay

Family Matters: Multigenerational living is on the rise and here to stay.

Our results are clear: multigenerational living is indeed on the rise in 2021, with more than 1 in 4
Americans (26%) living in a household with 3 or more generations. Given our finding in 2011 that 7
percent of Americans lived in a multigenerational household,4 this means that multigenerational living
has nearly quadrupled in the past decade (a 271 percent increase from 20115 to 2021). This finding is
incredibly striking, and our survey reveals some of the impetus for this staggering growth.

Coronavirus Relief Bill Includes $10 Million for Kinship Care Center

All but unnoticed in news coverage of the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package President Joe Biden signed on Thursday is $10 million to start up a technical assistance center to help relative caregivers who step up to fill in for parents whose children have been taken away from them.

While $10 million is a tiny fraction of the massive spending bill, it marks the culmination of a 20-year effort by the nonprofit Generations United to get the government to provide comprehensive services and supports to grandparents who in many cases never anticipated having to spend their limited time, money and energy raising their children’s children.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Sens. Maggie Hassan, D-NH, and Susan Collins, R-Maine, announced they have reintroduced the Help Grandfamilies Prevent Child Abuse Act to support kinship caregivers.

These caregivers are mostly grandparents who have taken over as primary caregivers for children exposed to substance misuse or other trauma.
