No - your HH size is 2 - you and your mom. This is because your mom is the head of the household for financial aid purposes & she would only include your grandmother if your mom supported your grandmother more than 50%. Since it sounds like it’s the other way around, you just list 2 (you and mom). If you have siblings that live with you, they would be in your HH size, too.
