Newborn Home Visiting Program

First-time parents can get free help from the Newborn Home Visiting Program. This program provides support for you and your newborn (0 to 3 months old) the first few weeks after birth.

To be eligible for this program, you should be a first-time parent who lives in one of these neighborhoods (https://www1.nyc.gov/site/trie/about/neighborhoods.page).

You may also be eligible if you are a parent with a baby less than 3 months old and who:

• lives in a NYCHA development in one of these neighborhoods (https://www1.nyc.gov/site/trie/about/neighborhoods.page).
• currently gets help from the Administration for Children's Services (ACS).
• lives in a Department of Homeless Services (DHS) shelter.

If you recently gave birth and did not hear from anyone in the program, call 311 or the Newborn Home Visiting Program office in your neighborhood to find out if you qualify.

For New Yorkers in all boroughs, call 718-637-5235.

For New Yorkers residing in a Department of Homeless Services shelter in any borough, call 718-466-7013.
