Federal Grant Award Summary

The Executive Office of the Governor of Delaware Division of Public Health received a $1.57M Project Grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Maternal and Child Health Bureau under the Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant to the States (CFDA 93.994) program, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027. This federal award supports Delaware's statewide maternal and child health services initiatives designed to improve health outcomes for vulnerable populations, particularly low-income mothers, infants, children with special health care needs, and families lacking adequate healthcare access.

As Delaware's centralized public health authority without local health departments, the Division of Public Health delivers comprehensive maternal and child health services across the state's three counties. The grant funding supports the development and coordination of care systems that provide preventive and primary care services, reduce infant mortality, prevent disease, and promote health through integrated maternal and child health initiatives. These efforts align with the federal program's objective to enable states to improve the health and well-being of the nation's mothers, children, and families through coordinated systems of care targeting vulnerable populations.
