Helping Families Connect More

Supports typically include home visiting services and other supports that build protective factors, such as parent support groups, maternal depression screening, early literacy promotion, case management, and parent education. HOPES grants also include local collaborations with health care, faith-based organizations, child welfare, early childhood education, and other child and family services in the community.

Families with children ages 0-5 years old who are considered at risk for abuse and neglect.

How We Measure Success
