RESOLUTION

Recognizing November 2025 as ``National Family Caregivers Month''.

Whereas, in 2025, 63,000,000 family caregivers in the United States provide 
essential care to millions of people each year;
Whereas family caregivers provide unpaid care worth an estimated 
$600,000,000,000 annually and play a vital role in the health care 
system of the United States, supporting loved ones who have chronic 
illnesses, disabilities, and are aging;
Whereas family caregivers, including grandparents who care for children when 
parents are unable to do so, as well as youth caregivers, often face 
significant challenges including financial strain, physical and 
emotional exhaustion, and social isolation;
Whereas, in just the past 5 years, the number of family caregivers has grown by 
10,000,000 and is projected to continue to increase due to growing 
populations of older adults and people with disabilities, the long-
standing shortage of direct care workers, and the lack of affordable, 
accessible child care for children with disabilities; and
Whereas ``National Family Caregivers Month'' is an opportunity to recognize and 
appreciate the contributions of family caregivers of all ages and to 
advocate for policies that support family caregivers: Now, therefore, be 
it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) recognizes ``National Family Caregivers Month'';
(2) commends the 63,000,000 family caregivers in the United 
States who provide essential care to their loved ones and 
chosen family each day;
(3) encourages Federal agencies, States, and the private 
sector to swiftly implement the remaining steps and build upon 
the current progress of the steps described in the 2022 
National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers;
(4) encourages policies and strategies to support family 
caregivers as person- and family-centered, trauma-informed, and 
culturally appropriate;
(5) urges investment in policies that support family 
caregivers, including--
(A) economic tax credits;
(B) paid family and medical leave;
(C) respite care;
(D) home- and community-based services; and
(E) access to quality health care; and
(6) encourages all people of the United States to learn 
more about family caregiving and to support their loved ones 
and neighbors who are providing care.
