Proclamation 10738

National Foster Care Month, 2024

This proclamation designates May 2024 as National Foster Care Month, calling attention to the approximately 370,000 children in foster care and urging Americans to support foster youth, their families, and caregivers. The document largely recounts past and proposed Biden Administration policies—including child tax credits, adoption tax credit expansion, an executive order on LGBTQI+ foster families, and proposed housing and support funding—without issuing new binding directives.
