Section 511 of the Social Security Act
created the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting
Program (MIECHV) and authorized the Secretary of the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) (in Section 511(h)(2)(A)) to award
grants to Indian tribes (or a consortium of Indian tribes), tribal
organizations, or urban Indian organizations to conduct an early
childhood home visiting program. The legislation set aside 3
percent of the total MIECHV program appropriation for grants to
tribal entities. The Administration for Children and Families
(ACF), Office of Child Care, in collaboration with the Health
Resources and Services Administration, Maternal and Child Health
Bureau, awards grants for the Tribal MIECHV Program. The Tribal
MIECHV grant awards support 5-year cooperative agreements to
implement high-quality, culturally-relevant, evidence-based home
visiting programs in at-risk Tribal communities. Tribal MIECHV
grants, to the greatest extent practicable, are to be consistent
with the requirements of the MIECHV grants to states and
jurisdictions (authorized in Section 511(c)), and include
conducting a needs assessment and establishing quantifiable,
measurable benchmarks. Specifically, the MIECHV legislation
requires State and Tribal MIECHV grantees to collect data to
measure improvements for eligible families in six specified areas
(referred to as "benchmark areas") that encompass the major goals
for the program and are listed below: 1. Improved maternal and
newborn health 2. Prevention of child injuries, child abuse,
neglect, or maltreatment, and reduction in emergency department
visits 3. Improvement in school readiness and achievement 4.
Reduction in crime or domestic violence 5. Improvement in family
economic self-sufficiency 6. Improvement in the coordination and
referrals for other community resources and supports As part of
their implementation plans, Tribal MIECHV grantees are required to
propose a plan for meeting the benchmark requirements specified in
the legislation and must report performance data to HHS, with
improvement assessed at the end of Year 4 and Year 5 of their
5-year grants. (With the American Rescue Plan Act, 19 of the 23
grantees received an additional year of funding and will report a
“Year 6 “ of performance data). The Tribal Home Visiting (HV) Form
2 provides a template for Tribal MIECHV grantees to report data on
their progress in improving performance under the six benchmark
areas, as stipulated in the legislation. This request is for an
extension with no changes to the Tribal MIECHV Form 2.
