The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration awarded $19,945,018 to the Georgia Department of Public Health on September 30, 2025, under the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Grant Program (CFDA 93.870) to deliver evidence-based home visiting services across twenty-four at-risk Georgia counties through September 29, 2027.

Georgia implements comprehensive home visiting models serving pregnant women and parents with children from birth through kindergarten entry, utilizing three evidence-based approaches including Healthy Families Georgia. The state operates the program through fourteen local implementing agencies across the twenty-four counties. The award funds technical assistance, training, and quality assurance activities, including consistent technical assistance and training delivery to one hundred percent of funded home visiting programs by September 29, 2027, and maintenance of one hundred percent site-level model fidelity across the three models utilized.

The award supports Georgia's community-based maternal and early childhood system designed to identify and serve expectant parents, children birth to five, and their families in at-risk areas. The program emphasizes evidence-based practices, program quality improvement, data-driven decision-making, father involvement, and support for home visitor recruitment, retention, and well-being. Place of performance is Georgia.
