The Newborn Home Visiting Program provides cribs and safe-sleep education to families in need. New parents in certain neighborhoods can get one visit from a health educator and may qualify for a free crib.
Cribs for kids and education for parents are also provided through the Nurse-Family Partnership, a home visiting program for first-time mothers that begins during a woman's pregnancy and continues until her child is two years old.
