guidance is used annually by the 50
States and 9 jurisdictions to apply for

required annual report. The proposed
revisions follow and build on extensive
consultation received from a workgroup
convened to provide suggestions to
improve the guidance and forms.

The changes in this edition of the
Maternal and Child Health Services
Title V Block Grant Program Guidance
and Forms for the Title V Application/
Annual Report are primarily revisions to
Section II—Needs Assessment. The
purpose of these revisions is: (1) To
provide more complete information on
the Background and Conceptual
Framework for the Needs Assessment
Process (Part A); (2) to clarify what State
grantees are to include in the Five Year
Needs Assessment Document (Part B);
(3) to better explain the information to
include in the Annual Needs
Assessment Summary/Update, both in
the year when the five year Needs
Assessment is conducted and in interim
years (Part C); and (4) to update Figure
2, the Needs Assessment diagram, to
reflect all aspects of the Needs
Assessment process. In addition, other
minor changes and clarifications are
included throughout the document to
make the instructions clearer for the
respondent. Such changes include the
clarification of headings and the types
of information that States may want to
include in a particular section.
