Foster Youth Voice Month''.

Whereas the voices of young people who have experienced foster care are crucial
in shaping policies and practices that affect their lives and those of
their peers;
Whereas organizations in more than 35 States have participated to empower young
people in foster care to advocate for themselves and drive systemic
change;
Whereas Foster Youth Voice Month, celebrated annually in October, promotes
awareness and highlights the experiences, needs, and achievements of
young people impacted by the foster care system in the United States;
Whereas an estimated 391,000 youth and young adults are impacted by the foster
care system annually in the United States, facing unique challenges and
barriers to stability and success;
Whereas recognizing Foster Youth Voice Month nationally will encourage dialogue,
collaboration, and support for initiatives focused on cocreating
solutions that improve outcomes for young people in foster care; and
Whereas advocates across the United States have achieved significant policy
victories and systems changes, demonstrating how lived experience
informs and improves laws and policies, thereby reducing unintended
harmful consequences: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That House of Representatives--

(1) supports the designation of ``Foster Youth Voice
Month'' and encourages public awareness and participation in
events and initiatives organized by youth in foster care;

(2) acknowledges the contributions and resilience of youth
in foster care and urges Federal recognition of Foster Youth
Voice Month as an official awareness month; and

(3) acknowledges and celebrates policy victories and
systems changes driven by young people with lived experience in
foster care, and urges legislative bodies to recognize the
value of lived experience in crafting laws and policies to
improve outcomes for youth in foster care.
