AI Summary
This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim November 17-25, 2025, as Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week in New York State, drawing attention to critical social issues affecting millions of citizens. The resolution highlights significant statistics, including that 43.1 million Americans live below the poverty line, over half a million people are homeless, and in New York specifically, 2.6 million residents (one in eight people) are food insecure, with one in five children experiencing food insecurity. Originating from a tradition started by Villanova University in 1975, this awareness week aims to focus public attention on hunger and homelessness, particularly during the holiday season, and emphasizes the state's commitment to supporting food pantries, shelters, and service organizations that aid vulnerable populations. By requesting the Governor's official proclamation, the resolution seeks to increase local, state, and national awareness and activity around addressing these critical social challenges, underscoring the importance of providing resources and support to those most in need.
