This resolution designates the week of April 21-25, 2025, as "National Home Visiting Week" to recognize the importance of home visiting programs for families with young children. Home visiting programs connect trained professionals with parents to support healthy child development, strengthen family relationships, and prevent abuse and neglect. According to the resolution, these programs reached over 139,000 families in fiscal year 2023, delivered more than 919,000 home visits across all 50 states and several territories, and employed over 20,000 home visitors nationwide. The resolution has no direct funding or implementation requirements—it is a symbolic measure expressing Congress's support for home visiting services and their role in helping young children develop and families thrive. The resolution was introduced by Representatives LaHood, Davis of Illinois, Yakym, and Chu on April 17, 2025.
