Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Grant Program is sponsored by Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Provides funding for evidence-based home visiting services to improve maternal and child health outcomes in West Virginia.

HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, DEPARTMENT OF The goals of the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV Program) are to: (1) strengthen and improve the programs and activities carried out under Title V of the Social Security Act; (2) improve coordination of services for at-risk communities; and (3) identify and provide comprehensive services to improve outcomes for eligible families who reside in at-risk communities.

The MIECHV Program supports voluntary, evidence-based home visiting services for pregnant women and parents with young children up to kindergarten entry. The MIECHV Program builds upon decades of scientific research that shows home visits conducted by a nurse, social worker, or other trained professional during pregnancy and in the first years of a child’s life improves the lives of children and families.

Home visiting helps prevent childhood and adult chronic disease and behavioral health conditions, supports families to prevent child abuse and neglect, promotes child development and school readiness, and boosts families’ economic self-sufficiency. Consistent with the program’s authorizing statute MIECHV funds provide grants to 56 states and jurisdictions through base and matching funds.

State and jurisdiction grantees conduct statewide needs assessments to identify eligible at-risk communities, reach statutorily-defined priority populations, and choose one or more of the 24 approved evidence-based home visiting models or identify promising approaches that will best meet the specific needs of their states and communities.

117-328). Cost Sharing Requirement Type: Voluntary rating Description: Additional Information on Base Grant and Matching Grants: This program makes awards according to requirements outlined in Social Security Act, Title V, §511(c)(4), as amended by Section 6101 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (P. L.

117-328). Grant awards will consist of up to three parts. (1) Base Grants are awarded FY 2023 through FY 2027.

Funding amounts are based on a statutory formula that considers each awardee’s share of U.S. children under age 5, while ensuring that any available recipient funding does not fluctuate by more than 10% from the prior year award, as well as a minimum $1 million award. (2) Matching Grants are awarded FY 2024 through FY 2027.

Funding amounts are based on a statutory formula that sets a minimum allocation, which increases each fiscal year, and distribution of remaining award funding according to each awardee’s share of children under age 5 living in families in poverty.

In order to obtain federal matching grant funding, eligible entities must contribute $1 in non-federal funds to receive $3 in federal grant award funding (25% state/jurisdiction contribution and 75% federal contribution). (3) Unobligated matching funds will be awarded FY 2025 through FY 2027, as funding is available.

Each year, beginning in FY 2025, awards will be made with matching grant funding that was not awarded in prior fiscal year(s), or was returned to the Federal Government from awardees. For interested eligible entities that can meet the additional match ($1 in non-federal funds to receive $3 in federal grant award funding), funding will be distributed according to each awardee’s share of children under age 5 living in families in poverty.

This program has MOE requirements, see funding agency for further details. Additional Information: This program has maintenance of effort (MOE) requirements. Per Social Security Act, Title V, §511(f), as amended by Section 6101 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (P.

L. 117-328), grants may not be made to an eligible entity in a fiscal year if the total amount of non-Federal funds obligated by the entity in the fiscal year for a state/jurisdiction MIECHV program is less than the total amount of non-Federal funds reported to have been expended by any eligible entity for such a program in the state/jurisdiction in fiscal year 2019 or 2021, whichever is the lesser.

In exceptional circumstances, a grace period may be granted for eligible entities to come into compliance with these requirements. For purposes of maintenance of effort in the MIECHV Program, non-federal funding is defined as state general funds, including in-kind, obligated only by the recipient entity administering the MIECHV award and not by other state agencies.

In addition, home visiting is defined as a targeted and intensive, evidence-based program implemented in response to findings from the most current statewide needs assessment that includes home visiting as a primary service delivery strategy, and is offered on a voluntary basis to pregnant women or caregivers of children from birth up to kindergarten entry.

Awardees may NOT consider any Title V funding used for evidence-based home visiting as part of the maintenance of effort demonstration. http://mchb. hrsa.
