GrandFacts
NEW! GrandFacts Fact Sheet - a two-sided single-page Fact Sheet summarizing the most important findings in the GrandFacts Report, released earlier this year.

GrandFacts Report - A national report, based on 2005-2007 American Community Survey data, profiles skipped generation grandparent-headed families (grandparents and grandchildren with no parents of the grandchildren present), with funding from the Annie E. Casey Foundation and the Brookdale Foundation Group.  The GrandFacts report compares skipped generation grandfamilies with parent-child families and the characteristics of the householders and children who live there.  The report includes implications of the data for further research, practice, and policy.
