A resolution designating November 2023 as "National Homeless Children and Youth Awareness Month".
This Senate resolution designates November 2023 as "National Homeless Children and Youth Awareness Month" to highlight the issue of homelessness among children and youth. It cites statistics including 1.2 million homeless children identified in U.S. schools during the 2021-2022 school year and higher risks of health issues, school disruption, and suicide among homeless youth. The resolution encourages businesses, governments, schools, and organizations to raise awareness, share information about causes and solutions, and support efforts to prevent homelessness during that month. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new laws or funding but aims to foster voluntary community action.
