The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration awarded the Colorado Department of Early Childhood $19.333 million on September 30, 2025, under the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Grant Program (CFDA 93.870) to implement evidence-based home visiting models across all 64 Colorado counties through September 29, 2027.

Colorado will deploy three evidence-based home visiting models to reduce preterm birth rates and investigated child maltreatment cases, increase breastfeeding and primary caregiver education attainment, and improve other HRSA MIECHV benchmarks. The program targets at-risk families experiencing low incomes, poverty, low educational attainment, domestic violence, substance abuse, and other stressors associated with adverse birth outcomes and child maltreatment. Colorado will expand service access across all 64 counties through an updated needs assessment and improved centralized intake systems, and will build statewide collaboration and support networks for home-visiting professionals through enhanced orientation training.

The Colorado Department of Early Childhood passes funding to eight sub-recipients: Community Coalition For Families & Children (also doing business as Community Partnership Family Resource Center), Metropolitan State College of Denver, County of Adams, Clayton Early Learning (Trustee, George W. Clayton Trust), Focus Points Family Resource Center, Morgan County Family Center Inc., Family Star Inc., and The Early Childhood Council of the San Luis Valley. Each sub-recipient supports pregnant people and parents in communities facing greater risks and barriers to positive maternal and child health outcomes through voluntary home visiting services, family resource coordination, early childhood education, and related family support activities.
