Ending child poverty.
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' desire to eliminate child poverty and establish a national target to guide future policy. It recognizes the significant drop in poverty during 2021 caused by expanded federal support, such as the Child Tax Credit, and calls for making these investments permanent. The document highlights disparities affecting Black, Hispanic, and immigrant children, as well as those living in U.S. territories, and advocates for increased federal spending on early childhood education and essential services like nutrition and housing. Ultimately, it encourages states and localities to adopt policies that align with these goals to ensure all children have access to basic necessities and educational opportunities.
