HV CoIIN 1.0 laid the groundwork for HV CoIIN 2.0 and developed the necessary resources and conditions for subsequent spread and scale efforts. This fact sheet details the origins of HV CoIIN, outcomes, and lessons learned.
Your guide to the Home Visiting CoIIN. Learn about our mission and history, as well as the evidence-based frameworks guiding our work.
The HV CoIIN supports MIECHV-funded states and territories to drive improvement with children and their families. Explore these key family, maternal, and child health topic areas:
Innovative solutions to intractable problems require that systems lead with the lived experiences of the primary consumer. In home visiting, the consumer is the family who receives services. The HV CoIIN believes every caregiver and every staff member adds value. We need systems that create equal opportunity to share and leverage their experience and strengths toward change efforts.
The HV CoIIN engages families as partners across all topic areas to co-create solutions that can accelerate outcomes.

The HV CoIIN believes that every caregiver adds value when they have an equal opportunity to share and leverage their strengths and gifts toward change efforts. Families are integral to CQI efforts as it recognizes that innovative solutions stem from lived experiences and can address root causes of a problem. At the heart of our work, we strive to partner with caregivers to co-create solutions that can accelerate outcomes.
In partnership with our expert Family Leadership Coaches, the HV CoIIN created a Family Leadership Toolkit to support home visiting programs to improve their capacity and infrastructure to successfully incorporate family leadership at both the state and local levels. This toolkit helps programs clarify the process and guide teams in building the needed infrastructure to welcome families as leaders.
This toolkit outlines a five-stage continuum for engaging caregivers in CQI. These stages offer opportunities for CQI teams to build and sustain family leadership in their CQI initiatives. The continuum ranges from early readiness to partner in CQI to long-term strategies for bolstering the infrastructure and team functioning needed for family leadership to continue to flourish as part of day-to-day operations.
The HV CoIIN also developed the “Building Blocks for Family Leadership in CQI Team Assessment” to help teams assess their current level of family leadership and what needs to be in place to progress along the continuum.
These valuable resources are now available below to all home visiting programs*.
This fact sheet discusses how to build meaningful relationships with families and incorporate their voices to drive CQI work.
