H.Res. 905 is a congressional resolution supporting the designation of November 2025 as "National Homeless Children and Youth Awareness Month." The resolution does not create any new programs or funding—instead, it expresses support for efforts by businesses, government agencies, nonprofits, educators, and volunteers working to address youth and child homelessness. The resolution highlights the scope of the problem: nearly 1.4 million school-enrolled homeless children were identified during the 2022-2023 school year, with estimates suggesting over 5 million younger children and youth experience homelessness annually. The resolution cites serious consequences including higher rates of chronic school absence, mental health crises, and lower graduation rates among homeless youth compared to their peers. By designating November 2025 for awareness efforts, the resolution aims to encourage continued commitment from organizations and individuals working to prevent and address child and youth homelessness.
