A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution supports the designation of November 2025 as National Homeless Children and Youth Awareness Month. It highlights statistics showing that millions of children, youth, and young adults experience homelessness or housing instability in the United States. The text points out that homeless children face higher risks of illnesses, chronic absenteeism in school, and mental health struggles like suicide attempts. It notes that the leading risk factor for homelessness is a lack of education. Finally, the House of Representatives resolves to support and applaud businesses, governments, organizations, educators, and volunteers working to raise awareness, prevent, and meet the needs of homeless children and youth.
