Latest from the Home Visiting Workgroup: Recap & Resources
The statewide home visiting workgroup reconvened last Friday. The topic of this month's meeting was Moving Beyond Visioning: Elements of a Statewide System. The group focused on elements that would provide better coordination between programs and move New York closer to a statewide home visiting system, while also increasing families' access to services. Workgroup members engaged in lively discussion about the tangibility of the system and each of the proposed elements. These elements will continue to be explored through smaller workgroups and a full follow-up meeting later this fall. Learn more and find resources from the meeting on our website.
CHIP Reauthorization

Although CHIP has bipartisan support, Congress is debating whether to continue to fund this health insurance program responsible for insuring over 8 million children nationally, more than 500,000 of whom live in New York. Learn more about CHIP and what it means for New York. (Learn more)
