HEALTHY BABIES PROJECT
Home Visitation Program
Long-Term Support for Young Families
Personalized, in-home support for pregnant and parenting youth—helping families build stability, confidence, and healthy futures.
About the Home Visitation Program
The Home Visitation Program provides individualized, long-term case management for pregnant and parenting young families in Washington, DC.
Each participant is paired with a dedicated Family Support Worker (FSW) who provides consistent, one-on-one guidance. Together, they create an Individual Care Plan (ICP) tailored to the family’s immediate needs and long-term goals.
The ICP may address areas such as:
Healthcare and maternal wellness
Housing stability
Food access and nutrition
Education and career readiness
Parenting skills and child development
Mental health, safety, and violence prevention
Life skills and financial independence
Families are also connected to community resources and support services that strengthen their path toward stability.
WHAT PARTICIPANTS RECEIVEConsistent, Long-Term Support
Families meet regularly with their Family Support Worker:
Weekly home visits
Long-term engagement (2–5 years)
Ongoing guidance, accountability, and encouragement
Through this relationship, FSWs help young parents:
Navigate healthcare, education, and social services
Stay on track with personal and family goals
Build confidence as they transition toward independent living
A Trusted Relationship
This program is built on consistency and trust—ensuring that no family has to navigate challenges alone.
ONE-ON-ONE FAMILY SUPPORT
Strengthening Families from Within
Family Support Workers work closely with each family to develop:
Life skills for everyday stability
Positive parenting practices
Healthy parent-child relationships
Support goes beyond meeting physical needs—it focuses on the emotional, mental, and relational well-being of both parent and child.
Families are encouraged to build strong bonds through everyday moments, such as:
Reading together
Sharing meals
Practicing affection and communication
Creating consistent routines
These small, daily interactions help lay the foundation for healthy child development and strong family connections.
