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

The MIECHV Program improves maternal and child health, early childhood development, and family well-being, with a focus on pregnant women and parents with children up to kindergarten entry, especially those living in communities identified as at risk for poor maternal and child health outcomes. The MIECHV Program does this by supporting the delivery of coordinated and comprehensive, high-quality and voluntary early childhood home visiting services to eligible families. HRSA administers this Program in partnership with ACF. With increases in appropriations under the MIECHV Program for FY 2025 and future years, HRSA strongly encourages awardees to expand home visiting services to new communities and/or additional families in currently served communities through this funding opportunity.

Eligible applicants include all 50 states and 6 territories and jurisdictions: the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa. Nonprofit organizations previously funded to provide services in a state or jurisdiction that did not apply for or was not approved to receive MIECHV Program funding and that received FY 2024 MIECHV Base and Matching Grant Awards are also eligible to apply in FY 2025 if the state, territory, or jurisdiction also does not apply or is not approved to receive award funding under this NCC Update.
