Published: Wednesday, December 16, 2015As in most states, home visiting in Arizona began as a patchwork of programs that grew independently of each other within each State agency. At present, the State’s home visiting system remains divided among the agencies, each program has its own administration and reporting requirements, and there is no central registry of home visiting data. For this reason, ADHS engaged the Morrison Institute for Public Policy in early 2014 to estimate the scope of the State’s home visiting system.
