Home Visiting Planning Tool

By: Zero to Three

Posted: October 13, 2011

The ZERO TO THREE Policy Center's new Home Visiting Community Planning Tool guides communities through the process of creating new or expanding existing home visiting services that meet their unique needs. It helps communities use data to identify their strengths, needs, and gaps in current home visiting services; choose an evidence-based program model; and align work at the local level with state efforts. Though this tool is relevant to any situation in which home visiting services are being explored, it is especially useful for communities receiving funding through the federal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting program.

This resource was made possible though a generous grant from the Birth to Five Policy Alliance. It is now available on the ZERO TO THREE website at www.zerotothree.org/hvcommplantool. To request designed, printed copies, please e-mail ntarr@zerotothree.org with the quantity desired and the purpose for which they will be used.
