The Packer great, Ahman Green, says in his USA Today column that home visiting can help parents and children live better, healthier, more self-sufficient lives. The article, Green: Renew, expand funding for home visit programs, was published in USA Today on April 29, 2017. Green says, “This research-backed investment will help ensure our most vulnerable kids and their parents have the tools they need to form healthy, stable, supportive families,” And he urges for continuing investment in home visiting.

Ahman Green is the all-time leading rusher for the Green Bay Packers.  The piece appeared all over Wisconsin:  Green Bay Press-Gazette, Daily Tribune (Wisconsin Rapids), Herald Times Reporter (Manitowoc), Marshfield News-Herald, The Northwestern (Oshkosh), Post-Crescent (Appleton), The Reporter (Fond du Lac), Sheboygan Press, Stevens Point Journal, and the Wausau Daily Herald.

Go Packers!
