WIC admin non appro

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services $2.717 million on October 1, 2025, under the WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (CFDA 10.557), a formula grant supporting program administration in Michigan through September 30, 2026.

The award funds WIC administrative expenses enabling Michigan DHHS to operate the program statewide. Michigan DHHS sub-awarded portions of the funding to 47 sub-recipients across October 1, 2025, reflecting the state's pass-through administration model. Sub-recipients delivering WIC resident services, breastfeeding support, breastfeeding peer counseling, migrant services, and specialized nutrition education include county health departments (Benzie Leelanau, Huron, Luce Mackinac, Delta-Menominee, Dickinson Iron, Central Michigan, Cadillac, Mid-Michigan, Barry Eaton, Western Upper Peninsula, and others across Michigan counties); other local government entities (numerous county governments including Ionia, Grand Traverse, Jackson, Bay, Kalamazoo, Macomb, Kent, Oakland, Livingston, Saginaw, Ingham, Lapeer, Monroe, St. Clair, Chippewa, Muskegon, Genesee, Washtenaw, Berrien, Alpena, and Tuscola); the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community; community action agencies (Mid Michigan Community Action Agency and Community Action Agency); nonprofit health centers (VHS Children's Hospital of Michigan, Downriver Community Services, Intercare Community Health Network, Great Lakes Bay Health Centers, and Arab American and Chaldean Council); Western Michigan University (for Internet-based nutrition education, WIC vendor training, and WIChealth.org system enhancements); and the Michigan Breastfeeding Network (for the Great Lakes Net-WORK Breastfeeding Series training and resources).

Place of performance is Michigan. The funding supports administrative operations necessary for income-eligible pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five determined to be at nutritional risk to receive supplemental foods, nutrition education, and breastfeeding promotion services.
