[SGRG logo]COVID-19/Emergency Preparedness Guide for Kinship Families and Grandfamilies

"Kinship Families and Grandfamilies" are families in which children are raised by their grandparents, other extended family members, or adults with whom they have a close family-like relationship. Currently, there are an estimated 2.7 million children in grandfamily/kinship households without parents in the home. Under normal circumstances, these families face significant challenges-health, well-being, financial, and legal-to name a few.

During emergencies, including natural disasters or pandemics, these challenges are magnified for Kinship Families and Grandfamilies. Recognizing this, the Advisory Council to Support Grandparents Raising Grandchildren (SGRG)<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDA4MzEuMjYzNDQ2ODEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FjbC5nb3YvcHJvZ3JhbXMvc3VwcG9ydC1jYXJlZ2l2ZXJzL3N1cHBvcnRpbmctZ3JhbmRwYXJlbnRzLXJhaXNpbmctZ3JhbmRjaGlsZHJlbi0wIn0.NxGlb7J36butexQglfTB7yefSOL_ZkjRdMK7p5ydY00/s/1206004223/br/83014894613-l> developed a COVID-19/Emergency Preparedness Resource Guide.
