Virginia Data

 

Home Visiting in Virginia

Through our 2021-2022 Annual Data Collection Survey, we are able to provide Virginia Home Visiting Data. Virginia is a large and diverse state with a population of more than 8.5 million including more than 700,000 children age 0-6, including an estimated 208,000 in low-income households (with income under 200% of poverty). These children and their families reside in Virginia’s 133 cities and counties, all of which have some level of need for home visiting.

The EIV Impact

We bring together the Commonwealth’s home visiting and early childhood leaders to develop the policies and conditions for growth and success. 

Together, Virginia’s eight home visiting programs provided over 63,000 virtual and in-person visits to more than 6,000 families between July 2021 and June 2022. The image below shows some of the data that Early Impact Virginia collects from home visiting programs annually to track the number of families, pregnant women, and children served and screenings provided.
