HELENA â The Montana Area Agencies on Aging Association (M4A) are currently conducting a survey in Lewis and Clark County to interview grandparents who are raising their grandchildren due to their children battling addiction.
The survey started in April of 2021 and will continue for 18 months.
M4A partnered with the Montana Department of Health and Human Services and Adult Protective Services on the project. It also includes out-of-state partners like the University of Illinois and Purdue University.
According to Montana State University, more than 13,000 children are living with their grandparents in the Treasure State. Some of the reasons that their grandparents are raising more children are connected to the opioid crisis.

Home care workers, their advocates and several New York state senators gathered virtually Wednesday to denounce Governor Andrew Cuomo for blocking the Fair Pay for Home Care Act in the new state budget. A New York congressman who joined the virtual press conference says federal help could be on the way.
Home-care worker Samarauh Person is with Cooperative Home Care Associates.
“I have to work four jobs to be able to pay all of my bills. The cost of living is so high here in New York. My rent is $1,500 a month. And that’s about how much it costs just to live somewhere decent in New York,” Person says. “My transportation is $135 a month for the metro card. The phone and cable are over $200 a month, health care insurance over $100 a month, and food, forget about it.”
