Maternal, infant and early childhood homevisiting grant program

This federal Project Grant award of $2,193,973.00 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Maternal and Child Health Bureau, under the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Grant Program (CFDA 93.870), supports the implementation of the Maternal Early Childhood Sustained Home Visiting (MECSH) model in Vermont.

The grant aims to improve pregnancy outcomes, promote healthy infant and toddler growth and development, and foster healthy, self-sufficient families among at-risk populations across all 14 Vermont counties. Key goals include developing a comprehensive data management system, building a sustainable state-level home visiting system, facilitating training and program management, and implementing strategies to reduce disparities and advance health equity. The Vermont Department of Health is the primary grantee, and sub-awards have been made to various non-profit home health and hospice providers throughout the state to deliver the MECSH home visiting services to eligible families.
