Parents
Grandparents: More and more grandparents are raising their grandchildren. If you are a grandparent raising grandchildren there are grants available that can ease the financial strain of parenting a second time around. There are special public assistance grants where eligibility is based solely on the child's income and resources- not the adult's.
