The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration awarded the Health & Human Services Commission of Texas (HHSC), Division of Family Support Services, $90.439 million on September 30, 2025, under the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Grant Program (CFDA 93.870) for Project Grant X1055012, with performance through September 29, 2027, in Texas.

HHSC is implementing Texas Home Visiting (THV), a comprehensive early childhood systems approach to evidence-based home visiting services in at-risk Texas communities. The program provides maternal and newborn health support, child maltreatment and injury prevention, school readiness promotion, domestic violence screening, family self-sufficiency services, and coordinated referrals to vulnerable families. THV targets communities with demonstrated need marked by high concentrations of low-income families, elevated birth risk, mental health and substance use challenges, declining child-care enrollment for three- and four-year-olds, and gaps in early childhood programs.

The program requested $30.146 million in total funding ($25.676 million federal base; $4.469 million federal matching funds). HHSC passes through home visiting services to 34 sub-recipients across Texas, including nonprofit organizations, local government entities, school districts, and universities. Sub-recipients include United Way entities (Greater Austin, San Antonio and Bexar County, Metropolitan Dallas, Coastal Bend, North Texas Area), Easter Seals Rio Grande Valley, MHP Salud, Saint Francis Community Services, Children's Advocacy Center of Greater West Texas, Innovative Network of Knowledge (Bcfs), Coalition of Health Services, Bastrop Community Cares, My Health My Resources of Tarrant County, El Paso Center for Children, Longview Wellness Center, Motivation Education & Training, Collaborative for Children, Bexar County Hospital District (University Health System), Texas A&M University System Health Science Center, University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler, University of Texas Permian Basin, Community Action of Central Texas, Houston Independent School District, Northwest Independent School District, City of Laredo, Victoria County, Depelchin Children's Center, Bcfs Health and Human Services, and Sabine Valley Regional MHMR Center (Community Healthcore), each delivering home visiting and early childhood family support services in their service areas.
