An average of 30 families were served per year over that past three years (FY16-FY18) with a retention rate of 63%. Families who voluntarily leave the program usually do so when they move out of the service area, experience a miscarriage, have a conflict in work or school schedules, or have felt they no longer need the extra support.

• Kent County Health Department - provides in kind office space and staff support.
• Kent Family Center - refers families and provides services to Healthy Families participants.
• Kent County Public Schools - provides services through Infants and Toddlers and Special Education
• Chesapeake College Childcare Resource Center - provides child care support to families seeking providers.
• Delmarva Community Transit - provides transportation services. 
• Local Food Banks - provides donations for qualifying families. 

Healthy Families works closely with local early childhood partners and have been able to establish a strong referral network. Their work with families is relationship based, which mothers facing poverty respond well to - the family support worker becomes an important part of the family’s support network and leads to word of mouth referrals as well. 

The pre and post evaluation is conducted over a yearly cycle.
