Abstract: The Understanding and Expanding the Reach of Home Visiting (HV-REACH) Project is being conducted by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation in the Administration for Children and Families in collaboration with the Health Resources and Services Administration. As part of this project, this request is for a onetime set of qualitative case studies to describe centralized intake systems, used by seven purposively selected sites that refer families to Early Childhood Home Visiting programs. The research team will conduct virtual or in-person site visits, with semi-structured interviews and document collection, to understand different features of these systems and family and staff experiences with outreach, screening, referrals, and enrollment processes.
