Bill reintroduced in U.S. House to support grandparents raising grandchildren

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WWLP) – U.S. House of Representatives Rules Committee Chairman James P. McGovern (MA-02) and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) reintroduced the Grandfamily Housing Act, a bill to create a new, nationwide pilot program to provide funding to help grandparents raising their grandchildren access safe, affordable and appropriate housing.

The Grandfamily Housing Act builds on many of the concerns that McGovern and Pressley heard at a meeting on the issue held in Worcester in 2019. Grandparents discussed challenges faced when raising grandchildren, including finances, access to school and medical records, and adequate housing.
