​​New results from the 2026 annual review

HomVEE published new results from updates of several Track 2 models (those that are already determined by HomVEE to be evidence based), expanding its review of the evidence base for early childhood home visiting.

Updated Model Reviews

HomVEE also re-reviewed several manuscripts related to Parents as Teachers (PAT)® based on new information provided by the study authors. The individual study findings have been updated on the Parents as Teachers (PAT)® page.

New Findings Added to the Evidence Base 

HomVEE’s November 2026 updates add several favorable, statistically significant findings to the evidence base for early childhood home visiting, including favorable findings in the following outcome domains:

​​HomVEE will pilot an application process for home visiting models that want to be reviewed

HomVEE will pilot an application process in the coming months for model developers interested in having their model reviewed by HomVEE next year. This opportunity only applies to models that are not yet determined by HomVEE to be evidence based, known as “Track 1” models. For next year’s review, HomVEE will use the application process instead of the points-based model prioritization approach HomVEE typically uses to select Track 1 models for review.

HomVEE’s review of Track 1 models is designed to assess the evidence of effectiveness for models and identify models that meet HHS’s criteria for an evidence-based early childhood home visiting service delivery model. The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program’s authorizing statute requires that the majority of MIECHV grant funds are used for implementation of evidence-based home visiting models.

Check the “Announcements” section on our homepage in the coming months for opportunities to submit an expression of interest to be reviewed. Note that submitting an expression of interest does not guarantee that your model will be reviewed.

For models that are already determined by HomVEE to be evidence based, known as “Track 2” models, HomVEE will continue to update model reports on a schedule. No application is required for Track 2 models.
