Texas Home Visiting

Texas Home Visiting is a free program that helps good people be great parents. The program matches parents with a trained home visitor who comes to wherever you live. Your home visitor is a friendly, experienced person who can answer questions about your pregnancy or being a parent and can help you find services that help you care for yourself and your children.

Texas Home Visiting uses programs that are proven to support families from pregnancy until the time your child enters kindergarten. Home visiting supports you and helps you set and reach goals for yourself and your child.

Texas Home Visiting uses four programs that have been proven to help children and families. When you contact the Texas Home Visiting program in your community, someone can help you find the best program for you and your family.

The programs are:
