Recognizing November 2023 as "National Family Caregivers Month".

HRES 898 is a symbolic resolution recognizing November 2023 as "National Family Caregivers Month" to honor the 53 million family caregivers in the U.S. who provide unpaid care worth an estimated $600 billion annually. It specifically highlights that caregivers - disproportionately women of color - often face financial strain, exhaustion, and isolation while supporting loved ones with chronic illnesses, disabilities, or aging needs. The resolution encourages federal agencies, states, and private entities to implement the 2022 National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers, including advocating for policies like tax credits, paid leave, respite care, and home-based services. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but aims to raise awareness and promote existing support frameworks.
