## Summary

This resolution would designate November 2025 as **National Homeless Children and Youth Awareness Month** to raise public attention to the scale, causes, and harms of youth homelessness. It compiles findings that nearly 1.4 million homeless children and youth were identified by public schools in 2022–2023 and that about 1.2 million children under age 6 and 4.2 million youth and young adults experience homelessness annually. The text notes a 39 percent increase in families in shelters or visibly on the streets in 2024 and highlights higher health risks for infants, worse school attendance and lower graduation rates for students experiencing homelessness, and links between homelessness, foster care history, and mental health risks.
