Maternal, infant and early childhood homevisiting grant program

The Hawaii Department of Health (HDOH) was awarded a $4,620,437 Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program grant (CFDA 93.870) by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The funding will support the delivery of comprehensive early identification and evidence-based home visiting services to high-risk families in designated priority geographic areas across Hawaii. The goal is to improve outcomes and reduce health disparities for at-risk children and families through home visiting interventions delivered by models such as Healthy Families America, Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY), and Parents as Teachers. Key activities include partnerships to integrate home visiting with early childhood systems and continuous quality improvement efforts to enhance program sustainability and effectiveness. The 2-year project period runs from September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2026.
