Project Description
This project will fund and revive the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (DPH)’s Home Visiting Program, utilizing the Healthy Families America (HFA) model to provide supportive home-based visitation services to 600 high-risk, low-income pregnant and parenting families, including perinatal and parental support, education, and empowerment; regular screenings and assessments for mental health symptoms and early child developmental delays; as well as referrals and linkages to community and government services. This program recovers eliminated services of HFA contractors providing services to non-CalWORKs eligible individuals and families in Los Angeles County, as well as the terminated temp staff providing program oversight, technical support, and administrative support. The program will target vulnerable families with teenage pregnancies and parenting, those without healthcare insurance, those experiencing or at-risk for depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues, those facing intimate partner/domestic violence, substance abuse, people experiencing homelessness, unemployment, and/or who are in foster care. The project will address the needs, deficiencies, and inequities exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic and replace defunded services for ~600 pregnant and parenting families in the previous fiscal year. HFA is rooted in the belief that early, nurturing relationships are the foundation of life-long, healthy development. The project aims to continue the work done by Family Support Specialists in building upon attachment and bio-ecological systems and tenets of trauma-informed care, in solidifying interactions between home visitors and families as relationship-based which are designed for prevention and early interventions, addressing the increasing mental health needs and risks evident during the pandemic, as well as to enhance strategic approaches to support strong and equitable recovery from the pandemic recognizing the gaps in healthcare delivery in the population of focus. The home visiting services will be provided in early pregnancy and continue until a child is three or five years, depending on model affiliation eligibility. The ARP funds will allow up to 400 HFA families to be served.
