Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program

The MIECHV program is a federal grant to states, territories, and Tribes that supports evidence-based home visiting for families and children from prenatal period through kindergarten entry. While the program’s ability to impact maternal and child health outcomes is clear, the current funding level limits its ability reach to vulnerable families. Only 3% of current and expectant parents benefit from the program. To bring the power of home visiting to more families and promote improved maternal health outcomes, we need Congress to reauthorize and increase funding. Unfortunately, the law that authorizes the MIECHV program will expire in September 2022, so we need your voice now more than ever.
