Bill > HRes335

This resolution supports the designation of the week of April 21 through April 25, 2025, as "National Home Visiting Week" by highlighting the critical importance of home visiting programs for child and family development. The resolution emphasizes that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their potential and that early childhood is a crucial period for brain development, with stable relationships with caring adults being key. It notes that home visiting programs help parents meet their children's unique needs, promote healthy development, strengthen family relationships, and reduce the risk of abuse and neglect. The resolution provides context about the widespread implementation of home visiting services, including that in 2023, evidence-based home visiting was implemented across all 50 states, 5 territories, and 21 Indigenous communities, with over 139,000 parents and children served through nearly 920,000 home visits. By supporting this designation, the House of Representatives aims to recognize the valuable work of over 20,000 home visitors who provide practical, emotional, and educational support that helps families thrive and ensures children have a strong foundation for a healthy, successful life.
