                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Supporting the goals and ideas of National Community Residential Care 
                                 Month.

Whereas the need for quality and dependable health care for the elderly, 
        disabled, and mentally ill increases every year;
Whereas community residential care provides medical, social, and nutritional 
        assistance to those in need who cannot provide for themselves;
Whereas both the national and international community residential care industry 
        is deserving of recognition and appreciation;
Whereas the community residential care industry is staffed by committed, 
        hardworking professionals who dedicate their working lives to the care 
        of the elderly, disabled, and mentally ill;
Whereas those providing community residential care must meet stringent licensing 
        requirements;
Whereas the community residential care industry provides a workable and homelike 
        environment for those unable to care for themselves at home, in a manner 
        which promotes confidence, support, and self-esteem; and
Whereas the Community Residential Care Association of California recognizes the 
        month of May as ``National Community Residential Care Month'': Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress supports the goals and ideas of National Community 
Residential Care Month and requests that the President issue a 
proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe such 
a month with appropriate programs and activities.
