Siskiyou Home Visiting Systems Coordination

Siskiyou Home Visitation
Systems Coordination

Beginning in 2016, The Ford Family Foundation began funding a Regional Home Visiting Systems Coordination (HVSC) project.

In Siskiyou County, by invitation only, a grant was awarded to First 5 Siskiyou. Community partners fully endorsed and recommended First 5 Siskiyou as the lead agent for this grant.

The Vision of the project...

… is for Siskiyou county to have a coordinated Home Visiting (HV) system that strengthens and benefits all home visiting models as part of each region’s birth-to-five early childhood development system. The long-term goal for the project is to improve outcomes for children and families and expand the region’s capacity to serve more families.

The work is primarily focused on:

01.

Improving internal communication between and among home visiting providers;

02.

Increasing community awareness about the availability and benefits of home visiting;

03.

Development of a shared intake & referral system to connect families to the best matched home visiting program; and

04.

Development of a regional home visitor professional development plan to promote shared training opportunities.

Working Together
to
Strengthen Systems

First 5 Siskiyou, with funding and support from the Ford Family Foundation, partners with Shasta Head Start, Siskiyou Early Head Start, Siskiyou County Public Health, and Modoc Early Head Start to strengthen Home Visiting systems. These collaborative partners seek to coordinate efforts, reduce duplication, and enhance services
for the best outcomes for children and families.
