CHAPTER 3—NATIONAL CLEARINGHOUSE 
SEC. 955. SHORT TITLE. 
This chapter may be cited as the "Family Resource Act". 
SEC. 956. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that— 
(1) fundamental changes in the demographics and economics 
of family life in the United States over the past 20 years have 
had a profound effect on children and their parents; 
(2) since 1966, the number of women working outside the 
home has increased by 92 percent and the number of two earner 
families has increased by over 50 percent; 
(3) 61 percent of the children bom today will live in a single-
parent family before reaching the age of 20, with one out of 
every three single female heads of households living on income 
below the Federal poverty level; 
(4) one out of every four children under the age of 6 in the 
United States currently lives below the Federal poverty level; 
(5) over the past 10 years, parents have increasingly come 
together with other parents to organize family resource and 
support programs that promote heathy child development and 
increase parental competency, particularly families at risk; and 
(6) Federal investment in promoting the development of 
family resource and support programs wall reap long-term bene-
fits for individual families and the nation as a whole. 
(b) PURPOSE.—It is the purpose of this Act to— 
(1) stimulate the development and expansion of family re-
source and support programs that are prevention oriented; 
(2) encourage early intervention of such programs with fami-
lies to ameliorate problem situations before such situations 
become crises; and 
(3) assist parents in enhancing their children's development 
to ensure that their children enter school prepared and ready to 
learn. 
SEC. 957. DEFINITION. 
As used in this chapter, the term "family resource and support 
programs" means community-based services that offer sustained

assistance to families at various stages in their development. Such 
services shall promote parental competencies and behaviors that

ents and children through— 
(1) the provision of assistance to build family skills and assist 
parents in improving their capacities to be supportive and 
nurturing parents; 
(2) the provision of assistance to families to enable such 
families to use other formal and informal resources and 
opportunities for assistance that are available within the 
communities of such families; and 
(3) the creation of supportive networks to enhance the 
childrearing capacity of parents and assist in compensating for 
the increased social isolation and vulnerability of families.
