Tribal Home Visiting Program grantees and communities are building a key evaluation capacity: performance measurement. Here are some of the benefits grantees have reported as a result of the performance measurement planning process.

Tribal Home Visiting Program grantees use performance measurement data to understand how well programs are meeting their families’ needs, track improvement over time, and communicate successes.

The Tribal Home Visiting Program submitted its first report to Congress in February 2016. The report outlines the program’s approach, implementation, and findings since its initial funding in 2010 as part of the Affordable Care Act. We have the full report, executive summary, and a fact sheet available for download.

The Data Collection Toolkit was developed to support data collection with AIAN families in their homes. Guided by years of work providing technical assistance to Tribal Home Visiting Program grantees, the toolkit addresses common grantee needs and challenges. Although it was designed for grantees—including program managers, evaluators, home visitors, and other staff—it also may be useful for early childhood programs and others who serve AIAN communities.
