Supporting the designation of the week of April 20 through April 24, 2026, as "National Home Visiting Week".

This House Resolution expresses support for designating the week of April 20 through April 24, 2026, as "National Home Visiting Week" , aiming to recognize the vital contributions of home visiting programs to the well-being of children and families. It emphasizes that these evidence-based programs help parents meet their children's unique needs, foster healthy development, strengthen family relationships, and reduce the risk of abuse and neglect, citing positive outcomes from the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV). The resolution highlights the 2022 bipartisan reauthorization of MIECHV, which increased investment and expanded services, including dedicated funding for workforce support. It further notes the widespread implementation of home visiting across all 50 states, territories, and Indigenous communities, serving hundreds of thousands of families annually. These programs provide practical, emotional, and educational support to promote positive parenting practices and ensure children have a strong foundation for a successful life.
