The Pew Home Visiting Campaign promotes and advances smart state and federal policies and investments in high-quality, home-based programs for new and expectant families. Our primary focus areas include:
Policy Advocacy. In the states, we provide strategic technical assistance to campaigns that advance policy change.
Research. Pew is leading a comprehensive, policy-relevant research agenda, including a 50-state inventory of home visiting policies, programs, and funding.
Information Sharing. We lead Webinars, convenings and communications that drive the national conversation on the importance of evidence-based home visiting policy. In doing so, the Pew Home Visiting Campaign serves as a knowledge and information-sharing resource to state policy makers and administrators making data-driven policy decisions
Key Accomplishments:
• Helped create, launch and/or manage three national campaigns to advance positive, state level policy changes for children and families including the Pew Home Visiting Campaign, the Pew Dental Campaign and Pre-K Now.
• Directed the Pew Home Visiting campaign which provided resources and strategic technical assistance to advocates and policy leaders in targeted states in order to build political will and public understanding and support for data-driven investments in home visiting.
• Commissioned a new body of home visiting research that highlighted gains in education, health, and future livelihoods at less cost to taxpayers through family support and coaching. These studies explored the importance of program quality and target populations—and the interactions between them—in determining ultimate outcomes for children and families. See less |
