Family Caregivers Month Recognition Resolution of 2025

This ceremonial resolution designates November 2025 as Family Caregivers Month in the District of Columbia. It honors the approximately 109,000 residents who provide unpaid or paid care to loved ones with aging, illness, or disability, recognizing their contributions valued at over $1 billion annually. The resolution specifically acknowledges caregivers' role in supporting District residents, particularly as the senior population grows, and directs the Council to formally recognize this month through a symbolic designation. It has no legal effect beyond the recognition itself.
