By designating September 2021 as "National Kinship Care Month," the resolution seeks to raise awareness about the importance of kinship care and to promote support and resources for kinship caregivers. It also aims to recognize the resilience and strength of kinship families and to celebrate the bonds of love and support that exist within these families.
Overall, Bill 117 H.Res. 659 is a bipartisan effort to honor and support kinship caregivers and to ensure that they receive the recognition and assistance they deserve for their vital role in providing care and stability to vulnerable children.
