The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services today announced that an additional $72 million will be distributed to ten states for the expansion and establishment of evidence-based home visiting services. This is the second round of competition for Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV)funds.
Six of the ten states receiving this grant will be implementing the Parents as Teachers model, including CO, CT, NJ, PA, TN and WA. These ten states are in addition to the original announcement of 22 states receiving the first round of competitive grants (Parents as Teachers is being implemented in 13 of those states). These competitive funding opportunities are in addition to the formula funding that all 50 states and 6 territories are receiving through the MIECHV initiative.
