ABSTRACT

The outcome results of home visiting programs have been mixed and modestly encouraging at best. To further understand this phenomenon it is important to understand what influences participation in home visiting programs. This study explores the relationship between housing stability and level of participation in an Early Head Start home visiting program. The housing needs of 76 Early Head Start participants were explored and compared with their participation in program home visiting services. Results indicated that housing problems were related to lower participation in home visiting services. Practice implications and recommendations are suggested.
