The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awarded a $8,953,714 Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program grant to the State of New Mexico Finance and Administration, doing business as the Early Childhood Education and Care Department (ECECD). This two-year Project Grant, with a period of performance from September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2026, will support the implementation of evidence-based home visiting services across New Mexico.
The MIECHV Program aims to improve maternal and child health outcomes, promote child development, and enhance family well-being, particularly in at-risk communities. ECECD, as the state government entity overseeing early childhood services, will utilize this federal grant funding to deliver a range of voluntary, evidence-based home visiting programs focused on addressing social determinants of health and reducing health disparities. ECECD may sub-award portions of the grant to child care providers, local education agencies, and community organizations to help carry out these home visiting activities statewide.
