Designated May of each year as "Foster Care Month" in New Jersey.

This resolution designates May of each year as "Foster Care Month" in New Jersey to raise awareness about the state's foster care system and honor child welfare professionals. It requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public recognition of foster parents, kinship caregivers, and agencies supporting children in care. The designation aligns with National Foster Care Month and acknowledges New Jersey's foster care system, which served over 3,100 children in 2021. As a commemorative resolution, it does not create new policies or funding but promotes community awareness and appreciation.
