Summary
This resolution signifies the House of Representatives' endorsement for establishing the week of April 21 through April 25, 2025, as "National Home Visiting Week" and supports its underlying goals and ideals. The designation aims to acknowledge the profound importance of home visiting programs, which are crucial for promoting healthy child development, strengthening family relationships, and reducing the risk of abuse and neglect by supporting parents during the critical early childhood years. These evidence-based programs have a significant national footprint, operating in all 50 States, various territories, and numerous Indigenous communities, reaching over 51 percent of United States counties. In 2023, more than 280,000 families benefited from over 2.8 million home visits delivered by over 20,000 dedicated home visitors and supervisors. These professionals provide essential practical, emotional, and educational support, helping families thrive and ensuring children have a strong foundation for a healthy and successful life.
