National Foster Care Month, 2026

President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation declaring May 2026 as National Foster Care Month. The action recognizes foster families, social workers, clergy, educators, and volunteers who support children in foster care and calls on Americans to honor their work. It also highlights the administration’s stated efforts to strengthen foster care, including implementing a 2025 executive order, improving data sharing and accountability, supporting family stability, and expanding housing help for young people leaving foster care. The proclamation was issued to spotlight the needs of children in foster care and to reaffirm the administration’s commitment to giving them safe, stable, and supportive environments.
