HomVEE systematically reviews the research on early childhood home visiting models that serve families with pregnant people and children from birth to kindergarten. The review determines which models have enough rigorous evidence to be considered evidence-based according to criteria defined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This two-page fact sheet answers basic questions about HomVEE.

This updated summary brief reflects the latest updates and describes the HomVEE review process, review results, and 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.”

This report describes key lessons learned from the first year of the HomVEE review about the current state of evidence on the effectiveness of early childhood home visiting, gaps in the research literature that create challenges for assessing effectiveness, and suggestions for strengthening future research in this area.
