The goal of the Maternal, Infant, and
Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) competitive grant program is
to award additional funding to states that have sufficiently
demonstrated the interest and capacity to expand and/or enhance
their evidence-based home visiting programs to improve outcomes for
children and families who reside in high-risk communities.
Successful applicants will be awarded competitive grant funds, in
addition to the MIECHV formula based funds, to support the
effective implementation of home visiting programs that are part of
comprehensive, high-quality early childhood systems in all states.
Applicants will be evaluated by their demonstrated commitment to
implementing high-quality home visitation programs and the quality
of plans to expand services and improve outcomes for vulnerable
children and families.
