Peer Partners
HIPPY USA partners with and engages a cohort of organizations whose collective missions are to better meet the holistic needs of families through the impact of home visits. A few of our peers include:
National Alliance of Home Visiting Models
is a collaboration of nine national early childhood home visiting program models. The Alliance is motivated by a shared commitment to promoting effective use of home visiting as a mechanism to enhance the health and well-being of families, parents, and children. The Alliance seeks to provide prenatal and early childhood intervention through evidence-based home visiting on a national scale and to make early home visiting an integral service focused on promoting positive outcomes for all children. Our activities include:
-
Identifying cross-model issues that affect outcomes of interest for each model
-
Collaborations on research
-
Innovations to improve service
-
Legislative and local advocacy
While each home visiting model is unique in intervention goals and outcomes, aspects of federal, state, and local mechanisms of home visiting implementation pertain to all.
National Home Visiting Resource Center

Primarily, MCHB supports states and jurisdictions through the Title V Maternal and Child Health Block Grant, which is complemented by the Bureau’s portfolio of discretionary and appropriated grant programs.
