This is a non-binding House resolution expressing support for promoting fatherhood and increased father involvement in children's lives. The resolution asserts that engaged fatherhood is essential for children's development and can lead to better educational, economic, and social outcomes across all racial and ethnic groups. It cites statistics showing approximately 18.4 million children live without a father in the home and argues that fatherlessness contributes to various social problems including violence, substance abuse, and juvenile delinquency. The resolution calls on Congress to examine federal policies—particularly welfare programs and the criminal justice system—that may create barriers to two-parent households, and it encourages exploration of tax incentives, foster parent programs, mentoring initiatives, and a national promotional campaign to support engaged fatherhood. No new funding is authorized or mandated by this resolution, as it is a statement of congressional sentiment rather than legislation that creates new programs or spending.
