This brief summarizes the latest updates and describes the HomVEE review process and results. It lists the 27 models determined to meet criteria from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for an “evidence-based early childhood home visiting service delivery model.”

HomVEE’s annual review is on a temporary pause until fall 2026 while we update some of our review processes and procedures. During this temporary pause, we will not review new Track 1 models (those that are not yet determined by HomVEE to be evidence based). Report updates previously scheduled for Track 2 models (those that are already determined by HomVEE to be evidence based) will continue as scheduled. 

Check the “Announcements” section on our homepage in the coming months for opportunities to comment on the proposed new processes and procedures for reviewing Track 1 models.

HomVEE reviewed three Track 1 models (those that are not yet determined by HomVEE to be evidence based): Virginia’s Comprehensive Health Investment Project (CHIP), SafeCare Parent-Child Interaction (PCI) module, and Building Healthy Children (BHC). 

In addition, this release includes updated reviews of the following Track 2 models (those that are already determined by HomVEE to be evidence based): Play and Learning Strategies (PALS), Parents as Teachers (PAT), SafeCare, ABC-Infant, and ABC-Early Childhood.
