This resolution would officially recognize the week of April 20-24, 2026, as "National Home Visiting Week" to raise awareness about programs where trained professionals visit families in their homes to provide support, education, and resources. Home visiting programs typically help new parents, low-income families, and families with young children by offering guidance on child development, parenting skills, and connections to community services. The designation aims to highlight the importance of these programs and encourage public recognition of the work they do to support families and improve child outcomes.
