Sign-on Letter for Supporting Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Act

In May, Senator Susan Collins and Senator Bob Casey introduced the Supporting Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Act (S.1091). The legislation creates a federal task force to:

• Identify and disseminate information about federal resources, information and best practices to help families where grandparents and other relatives are raising children.


• Submit a report to Congress on best practices, resources and other information for the families and on gaps in services to meet the families' needs.

Here's the sign-on letter for organizations in support of the bill. To sign your organization onto the letter, please email Adam Otto by Friday, June 23rd.
