The Maternal, Infant, and Early
Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV) is designed to:
1)strengthen programs and activities carried out under Title V; 2)
improve coordination of services for at risk communities; and 3)
identify and provide comprehensive services to improve outcomes for
families who reside in at risk communities. The information
requested in the Updated State Plan will advance the purpose of
this Program. The information collection will help further the
legislative purpose of the MIECHV Program. It is also intended to
help States view their proposed State Home Visiting Program as a
service strategy aimed at developing a comprehensive, high-quality
early childhood system that promotes maternal, infant, and early
childhood health, safety and development, and strong parent-child
relationships in the targeted communities at risk. As a condition
of receiving the remaining grant award made to States in July 2010,
each of the 56 grantees is now required to develop an Updated State
Plan for a State Home Visiting Program.
