Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program: Base and Matching Grant Awards

This notice announces the opportunity to apply for base and matching funds under the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program.1 The purpose of this program is to improve maternal and child health, early childhood development, and family well-being of pregnant people and parents with children up to kindergarten entry — especially those living in communities identified as at risk for poor maternal and child health outcomes — by supporting the delivery of coordinated and comprehensive high-quality and voluntary early childhood home visiting services to eligible families. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) administers this program in partnership with the Administration for Children & Families (ACF).

Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa. Nonprofit organizations that received MIECHV Program – Base Grant Award funding in FY 2023 are also eligible to apply in FY 2024, so long as the state, territory, or jurisdiction does not apply or is not approved to receive award funding for FY 2024 under this NOFO. Native American tribes, including tribal governments and tribal organizations, may be eligible to apply for Tribal MIECHV award opportunities administered by ACF in partnership with HRSA. Reauthorization of the MIECHV Program under Section 6101 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (P.L. 117-328) increased reservations for tribal entities from 3% to 6% of appropriations. Visit the Tribal MIECHV Website for more information. Accordingly, Native American tribal governments or organizations are not eligible for this specific funding opportunity.
