"Modern Family" is Becoming New Model for Modern Families

The multi-Emmy award winning sitcom Modern Family may have seemed to some viewers to be atypical, but recent economic and cultural changes have made it a new reality for a growing number of extended families.

"We've seen a 25 percent increase in demand for multigenerational housing structures over the past two years and expect to see more,"
said Luis Tusino, CEO of the GBI-Avis building group, which specializes in building custom modular homes.
