House concurrent resolution recognizing May 2024 as National Foster Care Month in Vermont
This legislative resolution recognizes May 2024 as National Foster Care Month in Vermont to highlight the importance of foster care services and support for children and youth in the state. The document formally acknowledges the role of foster families in providing safe homes and helping young people transition to independence, while noting that over 390,000 children nationwide are currently in foster care. It directs the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to several foster care organizations and the Commissioner for Children and Families to promote awareness during the designated month. This measure does not create new laws or funding but serves as a symbolic recognition of foster care's societal value.
