President Donald J. Trump announced May 2026 as National Foster Care Month in a proclamation issued April 30, 2026. The statement highlighted the role of foster families, social workers, clergy, educators, and volunteers in supporting children in the foster care system. It referenced an Executive Order signed November 2025, titled “Fostering the Future for American Children and Families,” aimed at strengthening the system and improving outcomes. The proclamation noted the Melania Trump Fostering Youth to Independence Program’s $30 million investment in housing stability for youth transitioning out of care. It also mentioned state initiatives to recruit foster families, strengthen kinship placements, and provide training and resources for caregivers. The President called on Americans to honor those who support foster children and pledged continued federal commitment to their well‑being.
