HRES 771 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of September 2025 as "National Kinship Care Month".

HRES 771 is a symbolic House resolution supporting the designation of September 2025 as "National Kinship Care Month." It recognizes that over 2.5 million children in the U.S. are raised by kinship caregivers (such as grandparents, siblings, or tribal relatives) in both formal foster care and informal arrangements. The resolution encourages Congress to improve policies supporting these caregivers, honors their role in helping children maintain family connections and stability, and highlights the need for better resources to prevent children from entering foster care. It does not create new laws or funding but formally acknowledges the importance of kinship care.
