HOUSE RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING MARCH 10TH, 2026, TO BE "HOMELESS SERVICE PROVIDER DAY" IN THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND

Plain-English Summary

This is a resolution passed by the Rhode Island House of Representatives that officially declares March 10th, 2026, as "Homeless Service Provider Day" in the state of Rhode Island. A resolution like this is a formal statement of recognition from the legislature, but it does not create any new laws, spend any money, or require anyone to take specific actions.

The purpose of this resolution is to honor and acknowledge the individuals and organizations that work to provide services to people experiencing homelessness in Rhode Island. This includes workers and volunteers at shelters, outreach programs, food services, and other support organizations who assist homeless individuals and families on a daily basis.

This resolution primarily affects homeless service providers — the people and organizations being recognized — by giving them an official day of appreciation from the state government. It also serves as a public acknowledgment to Rhode Island residents of the important role these workers play in their communities. Since this is a symbolic resolution rather than a law, it has no direct financial or legal impact on any individual or organization.
