                               RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the 
           recognition of homelessness in the United States.

Whereas 2011 data show that an estimated 636,017 people experienced homelessness 
        in the United States on any given night; and
Whereas depressed wages, stagnant unemployment, unrelenting housing cost burden, 
        and the lagging pace of the economic recovery escalates the odds of a 
        person experiencing homelessness: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives 
that--
            (1) public and private institutions should continue to work 
        together to eliminate homelessness; and
            (2) the United States Government should recognize the 
        outstanding efforts of institutions and individuals who work 
        tirelessly to assist those in their community who suffer from 
        homelessness.
