Data Insights Brief: Snapshot of the Home Visiting Workforce

Authors: Doyle, E., Sandstrom, H., & Sick, N.

Drawing on data from more than 24,000 home visitors who created accounts with a national professional development platform, the Institute for the Advancement of Family Support Professionals (IAFSP), between 2021 and 2025. It presents a first-of-its-kind descriptive picture of the home visiting workforce across all 50 states and U.S. territories. It covers workforce demographics, educational attainment, and years of experience — offering foundational insights for program leaders, state and network leaders, researchers, and policymakers working to understand and strengthen the workforce.

Until now, comprehensive national data on the personal and professional backgrounds of the home visiting workforce has been limited — with most prior studies focused on specific states, regions, or federally funded programs. This data insights brief begins to fill that gap.
