Bill > SRes185

This resolution designates the week of April 21 through April 25, 2025, as "National Home Visiting Week", recognizing the critical importance of home visiting programs that support early childhood development and family well-being. The resolution highlights that home visiting programs help parents meet their children's unique needs, promote healthy child development, strengthen family relationships, and reduce the risk of child abuse and neglect. It notes that in 2023, evidence-based home visiting was implemented across all 50 states, five territories, 21 Indigenous communities, and 51% of U.S. counties, with the Federal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program serving over 139,000 parents and children through more than 919,000 home visits. The resolution emphasizes that home visitors provide practical, emotional, and educational support that helps families thrive, promotes positive parenting practices, and ensures children have a strong foundation for a healthy, successful life. By supporting this designation, the Senate aims to recognize and celebrate the valuable work of home visitors and the positive impact of home visiting programs on families and child development.
