It is typical for immigrant families to live in multigenerational households when they immigrate to the United States. A household may consist of parents, their biological children, grandparents, or older aunts and uncles. They may sponsor and pay to bring over loved ones from their homeland. The parents are likely to both work for pay while the children are in school. The other relatives will also contribute to the household, either financially or by taking on tasks within the home.
