2024 Home Visiting Yearbook

The 2024 Home Visiting Yearbook compiles key data on early childhood home visiting, a proven service delivery strategy that helps children and families thrive. It features updated information from robust data sources, including 17 evidence-based and 11 emerging models.

Key takeaways include—

• Evidence-based home visiting was implemented in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, 5 territories, 21 Indigenous communities, and 51 percent of U.S. counties in 2023.
• More than 280,000 families received evidence-based home visiting services in 2023, over the course of more than 2.8 million home visits. Approximately 23 percent of these visits were provided virtually, down from nearly 44 percent the prior year, reflecting a continued return to in-person visits.
• Over 38,000 additional families received home visiting services through 11 emerging models that provided more than 489,000 home visits in 2023. More than a quarter of these visits were provided virtually.
• More than 20,000 home visitors and supervisors delivered evidence-based services nationwide in 2023.
• More than 17.1 million pregnant women and families (including over 22 million children) could benefit from home visiting. Of those, approximately 280,000 received services in 2023—only 1.6 percent of all potential beneficiaries or 3.6 percent of high-priority families.
• In 2023, the federal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program helped fund services for more than 62,000 families in states, the District of Columbia, territories, and Indigenous communities—a portion of the total families served by home visiting that year. Of the more than 810,000 home visits provided, almost one-third were delivered virtually.
