==History==
In 2010, the federal [[Affordable Care Act]] initiated the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV) in order to establish positive and improved outcomes in health, education, and wellbeing of young children. Home visiting has already been in practice in every state.<ref name="ncsl_a">Tweedle, Mark. National Conference of State Legislature. [http://www.ncsl.org/documents/cyf/HomeVisitingPPT.pdf Home Visiting Power Point]. Retrieved Oct 20, 2013.</ref> While passed during the administration of [[President Barack Obama]], the program is widely viewed as bipartisan. MIECHV was reauthorized in a bipartisan budget bill in 2015 and signed by [[President Donald Trump]].<ref>{{cite web|title=<i>What Is Home Visiting?</i> Alliance for Early Success|url=https://earlysuccess.org/home-visiting/|access-date=August 15, 2022}}</ref> By the end of its first decade after being formalized in MIECHV, voluntary home visiting had been implemented in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, 5 territories, 25 tribal communities, and 51 percent of U.S. counties.<ref>{{cite web|title=<i>What Is Home Visiting?</i> Alliance for Early Success|url=https://earlysuccess.org/home-visiting/|access-date=August 15, 2022}}</ref>
