The 2026 Home Visiting Yearbook Is Here
The National Home Visiting Resource Center (NHVRC) has released its 2026 Home Visiting Yearbook, a state-by-state look at early childhood home visiting. Building on previous NHVRC publications, this edition offers an up-to-date snapshot of home visiting in action across the country.
What’s New in 2026 …
This year’s publication includes several updates, including a new measure of reach that shows the counties where families were served, highlighting how home visiting agencies provide the local infrastructure that enables home visitors to serve families in surrounding communities.
This Yearbook presents the latest data from evidence-based and emerging home visiting models, state agencies, and the Administration for Children and Families, including:
- Data on who is being served by home visiting, including information from 18 evidence-based home visiting models and 12 emerging models that have not yet met federal standards of evidence
- Information from 2025 on where home visiting is operating and how many families and children could benefit from home visiting
- Updated state, Indigenous-led organization, and model profiles
It also includes maternal and child health indicator data to offer insights into family well-being and the potential need for services.
More than 301,000 families nationwide received home visiting services in 2025, over the course of 3.1 million home visits. Approximately 11% of these visits were provided virtually, down from nearly 14% the prior year, reflecting a continued return to in-person services.
