Grandfamily Housing Act of 2025

The Grandfamily Housing Act of 2025 creates a federal grant program to support housing where grandparents or other relatives raise children (intergenerational homes). It provides funds to property owners to hire service coordinators who offer on-site services like tutoring, healthcare, and after-school care for children, while coordinating with local kinship support programs. Grants also cover outreach to families in the community, planning services, and retrofitting spaces for these programs. The program requires a report to Congress within two years evaluating its effectiveness and suggesting improvements.
