This resolution designates the week of April 20-24, 2026, as "National Home Visiting Week" to recognize programs that send trained professionals to visit families with young children in their homes. Home visiting programs provide parenting support, child development guidance, and connections to community resources, serving over 280,000 families nationwide in 2024 through more than 3 million visits. The programs operate in all 50 states, Washington D.C., five territories, and 32 Indigenous communities, with more than 20,000 home visitors delivering evidence-based services. The resolution emphasizes that these programs help strengthen family relationships, promote healthy child development, and reduce risks of abuse and neglect during the critical early childhood years. This is a symbolic resolution with no funding attached, simply expressing Senate support for recognizing the importance of home visiting services.
