Section 2951 of the Act amended Title V of the Social Security Act by adding a new section, 511, which authorized the creation of the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program, (https://frwebgate.access.gpo. gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_ cong_bills&docid=f:h3590enr.txt.pdf, pages 216–225). The Act responds to the diverse needs of children and families in communities at risk and provides an unprecedented opportunity for collaboration and partnership at the federal, state, and community levels to improve health and development outcomes for at risk children through evidence-based home visiting programs. Under this program, $125 million was awarded to states on a formula basis in both fiscal years (FY) 2010 and 2011. This funding was awarded to support states in implementing their Updated State Plans. Additionally, competitive funding was awarded in June 2011 for Development Grants and Expansion Grants. Development Grants are intended to support the efforts of states and jurisdictions with modest evidencebased home visiting programs to expand the depth and scope of these efforts, with the intent to develop the infrastructure and capacity needed to seek an Expansion Grant in the future.

Reports (OMB No. 0915-xxxx)--[New]

Activity Code: D89

    On March 23, 2010, the President signed into law the Patient 
Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Act). Section 2951 of the Act 
amended Title V of the Social Security Act by adding a new section, 
511, which authorized the creation of the Maternal, Infant, and Early 
Childhood Home Visiting Program, (https://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:h3590enr.txt.pdf, pages 
216-225). The Act responds to the diverse needs of children and 
families in communities at risk and provides an unprecedented 
opportunity for collaboration and partnership at the federal, state, 
and community levels to improve health and development outcomes for at 
risk children through evidence-based home visiting programs.
    Under this program, $125 million was awarded to states on a formula 
basis in both fiscal years (FY) 2010 and 2011. This funding was awarded 
to support states in implementing their Updated State Plans. 
Additionally, competitive funding was awarded in June 2011 for

intended to support the efforts of states and jurisdictions with modest 
evidence-based home visiting programs to expand the depth and scope of 
these efforts, with the intent to develop the infrastructure and

Grants are intended to support the efforts of states and jurisdictions 
that had already made significant progress towards a high-quality home 
visiting program or embedding their home visiting program into a 
comprehensive, high-quality early childhood system. Thirteen states 
were awarded Development Grants, and nine states were awarded Expansion

and 4 years (Expansion Grants), respectively. State grantees of both
