Key Points
- This resolution officially names April 21 through April 25, 2025, as National Home Visiting Week to highlight programs that help new parents. These programs send trained professionals to homes to help parents with child development, health, and building strong family bonds.
- In 2023, these programs reached over 280,000 families across all 50 states and several territories through millions of individual visits. The resolution recognizes the work of more than 20,000 home visitors and supervisors who provide these services nationwide.
- The goal of this recognition is to show support for services that help prevent child abuse and give children a better start in life. These programs focus on the early childhood years when the brain is developing most rapidly and needs stable, nurturing relationships.
- This is a ceremonial action by the Senate and does not provide new funding or change any laws. It serves as a formal way for the government to express its support for the goals and ideals of home visiting services.
