"Science demonstrates that evidence-based home visiting improves prenatal and birth outcomes, early child health and development, greater school readiness, improved parenting practices and reductions in child maltreatment. These outcomes can produce a significant return on investment for state and federal government.
Several studies have found that evidence-based home visiting saves scarce resources. A 2005 RAND Corporation study found that two evidence-based home visiting programs saved from $1.80 to $5.70 per dollar invested.
MIECHV is a wise investment and a good use of taxpayer money. This is why states have embraced it as a sensible solution to the health, educational and fiscal challenges we face."
