President Barack Obama Recognizes  Nurse-Family Partnership and Harlem Children's Zone 


Expansion of the Nurse-Family Partnership , a nurse home-visitation program proven to improve the long-term health and well-being of low-income first-time mothers and their children, is a major priority outlined in President Barack Obama's domestic public policy agenda.


Also, over the past 12 months, President Obama has repeatedly cited Harlem Children's Zone as a model for helping low-income youth succeed, calling it "an all-encompassing, all-hands-on-deck, anti-poverty effort that is literally saving a generation of children." Obama has proposed the creation of 20 "Promise Neighborhoods" modeled after HCZ.
