House would spotlight Pennsylvania students experiencing homelessness

The House would designate an awareness week and Red Shirt Day. The observances would focus on Pennsylvania students experiencing homelessness and the barriers they face in attending and succeeding in school. The awareness week would run from November 16 through November 20, 2026, with Red Shirt Day on November 20, 2026.

The House would encourage public support for students experiencing homelessness. Pennsylvania residents, schools, communities, and individuals would be encouraged to recognize education’s role and support assistance programs for these students. These statements would encourage voluntary action rather than require residents, schools, or communities to participate. The request to wear red would apply on November 20, 2026.
