Support for Implementing Home Visiting Under the Affordable Care Act - Beware of Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

Support for Implementing Home Visiting Under the Affordable Care Act

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is often described as “unprecedented” for a number of reasons. One such component of the law that hasn't gained a lot of media attention is the ACA's funding for home visiting programs. This groundbreaking provision is the first time in U.S. history that federal funds have been issued explicitly for home visiting.

Note: It's not getting the media attention because of the negative side effects of such programs, such as a potential increase in the number of reports made to CPS.
