Summary
What This Bill Does
This is a Senate resolution that officially designates November 2025 as "National Homeless Children and Youth Awareness Month." It expresses the Senate's support for organizations, educators, and volunteers working to help homeless children and youth, and encourages continued efforts to address this issue.
Who Benefits and How
Organizations that serve homeless youth (shelters, advocacy groups, social services) benefit from official Congressional recognition of their work, which may help with fundraising and public awareness campaigns. Homeless children and youth may benefit indirectly if the awareness month leads to increased public attention and support for programs that assist them.
Who Bears the Burden and How
No one faces any new costs, requirements, or restrictions. This is a purely symbolic resolution with no regulatory or fiscal impact. It does not appropriate any money, create any mandates, or impose any obligations on anyone.
