On November 17, 2022, U.S. Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV), Susan Collins (R-ME), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Chris Coons (D-DE), Jack Reed (D-RI), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Gary Peters (D-MI) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) introduced a bipartisan resolution to designate November 2022 as National Homeless Children and Youth Awareness Month. This resolution is a Congressional action to “shine a light” on the large number of children and youth experiencing homelessness in America.
Our Executive Director was quoted in the Senate press release:
“NN4Y applauds this resolution recognizing National Homeless Children and Youth Awareness Month. Youth and child homelessness is a critical issue that requires a new national strategy centered around the needs of our youngest citizens. A multi-system coordinated approach will put the US on the right path to prevent and end child and youth homelessness,” said Darla Bardine, Executive Director, National Network for Youth.
