The 2025 Home Visiting Yearbook Is Here!
The National Home Visiting Resource Center (NHVRC) has released its 2025 Home Visiting Yearbook, a comprehensive, nationwide, and 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.
This year marks the 10th data release from NHVRC, offering insight into who is receiving home visiting services and who could benefit. The 2025 Yearbook is dedicated to Dr. Deborah Daro, a founding member of the NHVRC Advisory Committee who passed away in August 2025. A longtime advocate for child and family well-being, Dr. Daro was also a featured speaker at the Family Strengthening Network Summit in 2020. She helped shape the field of home visiting through her contributions to research, policy, and advocacy.
What’s New in 2025 …
This year’s publication includes several updates, such as a direct link to the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program Outcomes Dashboard, which allows readers to explore key data on MIECHV-funded services and outcomes.
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 17 evidence-based home visiting models and 12 emerging models that have not yet met federal standards of evidence
- Information from 2024 on where home visiting is operating and how many families and children could benefit from it
- Profiles of home visiting models, and updated Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program data tables
- A comparison of virtual and in-person home visiting activity
It also includes maternal and child health indicator data to offer insights into family well-being and the potential need for services.
More than 284,000 families nationwide received home visiting services in 2024, over the course of 3 million home visits. Approximately 14% of these visits were provided virtually, down from nearly 23% the prior year, reflecting a continued return to in-person services.
