Direct peers

• Florence Crittenton Services: Provides residential and supportive services for at-risk girls and young women including pregnant/parenting teens, with housing, case management, and life-skills programming. Closely comparable to HBP's mission of serving pregnant/parenting youth with wraparound support services.

• Nurse-Family Partnership: National home visitation program pairing first-time mothers with nurse home visitors from pregnancy through child age two. Comparable evidence-based home visitation approach to HBP's Home Visitation Program, but with much larger national scale and clinical staffing model.
