Home Visitation Program - Richmond, Healthy Families Virginia, Families Forward Virginia

Home visiting is a proven prevention strategy for delivering family-strengthening services to children and parents. Families are typically referred prenatally or at the time of the baby's delivery. Families will receive an initial visit, during which their strengths and needs are identified. A determination is then made about whether Healthy Families or other services in the community are right for them. Families are voluntarily connected to community resources they prefer. Families who do best in the program are willing to receive at least one home visit per week for the first six months after the baby's birth. After that the frequency is determined by their needs and progress. Families have the choice to receive services until the child enters preschool or until the child's fifth birthday. Families must enroll prenatally or within three months of birth. There are no income restrictions.
