Designates November of each year as "New Jersey Homeless Children and Youth Awareness Month."
SJR 84 designates November of each year as "New Jersey Homeless Children and Youth Awareness Month" to highlight homelessness affecting children and youth in the state. The resolution authorizes the Governor to issue annual proclamations encouraging public officials and citizens to observe the month with awareness activities. It does not create new programs, funding, or policy changes - only establishes a symbolic designation. The bill references New Jersey's 2022 data showing 780 homeless youth identified in the Point-In-Time Count, but the resolution itself focuses solely on raising awareness.
