Definition

The number of families and children receiving evidence-based home visiting services through the Healthy Montana Families program.

Healthy Montana Families home visits are conducted by a professionally trained home visitor and provide services to support pregnant moms and families with young children. Home visits promote infant and child health, foster educational development and school readiness, and prevent child abuse and neglect.

Notes


DATE - Data represent federal fiscal years (Oct. 1 - Sept. 30)
GEOGRAPHY - For data matching 2017-2022, participants are matched to the county providing services, not their place of residence. Starting with data in 2023, participants are matched to their county of residence. Not all counties in Montana provide home visiting services through the Healthy Montana Families program. If a county does not appear in the table, the location did not have a Healthy Montana Families program during the listed years. 
NA- Data is not reported if less than five children or families participated, or if the county did not provide home visiting services that year. Glacier County began providing home visiting services in the 2020 program year. Richland County stopped providing services in the 2020 program year. Big Horn County did not provide services in the 2021 or 2023 program year. Custer County and Hill County did not provide services in the 2022 program year. Hill County did not provide services in the 2023 program year.
