Designating November 2023 as "National Homeless Children and Youth Awareness Month".

HRES 893 designates November 2023 as "National Homeless Children and Youth Awareness Month" to highlight the issue of homelessness among children and youth in the U.S. The resolution does not create new programs or funding but encourages businesses, governments, schools, and organizations to raise awareness about the causes and solutions to child and youth homelessness. It cites statistics showing high rates of homelessness among students (e.g., 68% high school graduation rate for homeless youth vs. 85.5% overall) and links homelessness to health, education, and mental health challenges. The bill formally supports existing efforts to address homelessness through awareness and prevention, urging continued collaboration to support affected youth. This is a symbolic resolution with no direct policy changes or affected individuals beyond raising public attention.
