The Mother and Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation (MIHOPE) is pleased to announce the creation of a regular electronic update that will be sent out via email about three times per year. The first update will be distributed in January.

MIHOPE is the legislatively mandated evaluation of the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program, which was created by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. Home visiting programs are an important strategy for helping at-risk families with young children. Depending on the program, home visiting may seek to prevent child maltreatment, improve maternal and child health outcomes, and increase school readiness. Home visiting programs operate in thousands of communities around the country.
