DCS Healthy Families Indiana (HFI)

The Indiana Child Services agency is seeking information from the provider community to inform the development of a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Healthy Families Indiana (HFI) program. The HFI program is a voluntary multi-faceted home visitation program designed to promote healthy families and children through services such as child development, access to health care, parent education, family incentives, staff training, and community coordination and education.
