The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) was awarded a $12,567,418 federal Project Grant from the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program, a grant initiative of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The grant will support the implementation of voluntary, evidence-based and evidence-informed home visiting programs in at-risk communities across Arizona to improve maternal and child health outcomes. The grant will fund home visiting services delivered by trained educators to pregnant individuals and families with young children, with a proposed caseload capacity of 2,385 participants between September 2024 and September 2026. The grant aims to support evidence-based models like Nurse-Family Partnership and Healthy Families America, as well as a promising approach model called Health Start, in 37 urban, 29 rural, 4 frontier, and 5 tribal communities identified as at-risk. Additionally, the grant will fund efforts to improve coordination and information-sharing within Arizona's home visiting system to maximize resources and support for home visitors, supervisors, and eligible families.
