Mapping California’s Home Visiting Landscape

This mapping tool includes demographic and family data from a variety of sources, including the United States Census Bureau and several California state agencies: the California Department of Social Services (CDSS), California Department of Public Health (CDPH), and California Department of Health Care Services (CDHCS). Home visiting supply data were obtained from a statewide home visiting survey administered by Child Trends and Harder+Company Community Research. More information about this study can be found here.

The California Home Visiting Mapping Tool was funded by First 5 California and developed in collaboration with Harder+Company Community Research and Advent Consulting. The project team would like to acknowledge the individuals who made this work possible, including the home visiting program managers and staff who participated in the survey.
