Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim November 15-21, 2026, as Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week in the State of New York

Senate Resolution 1552 requests Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim November 14-21, 2026, as Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week in New York State. This non-binding resolution does not create new laws or policies but aims to raise public awareness about hunger and homelessness, which affect an estimated 2.6 million food-insecure New Yorkers and 91,897 people experiencing homelessness daily. The resolution cites statistics from Feeding America and state data to emphasize the need for greater community engagement during this observance period.
