Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Project: Tribal Maternal,
Infant, and Early Childhood Home
Visiting Program Demographic and
Service Utilization Data Form.
Title: Tribal Maternal, Infant, and
Early Childhood Home Visiting Program
Form 1: Demographic and Service
Utilization Data.
Description: The Bipartisan Budget
Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115–123). Section
511(h)(2)(A) of Title V of the Social
Security Act, created the Maternal,
Infant, and Early Childhood Home
Visiting Program (MIECHV) and
authorized the Secretary of 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. Tribal MIECHV
grants, to the greatest extent practicable,
are to be consistent with the
requirements of the MIECHV grants to
states and jurisdictions and include
conducting a needs assessment and
establishing quantifiable, measurable
benchmarks.
The Administration for Children and
Families, 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 5year cooperative agreements to conduct
community needs assessments, plan for
and implement high-quality, culturallyrelevant, evidence-based home visiting
programs in at-risk Tribal communities,
and participate in research and
evaluation activities to build the
knowledge base on home visiting among
Native populations.
In Year 1 of the cooperative
agreement, grantees must (1) conduct a
comprehensive community needs and
readiness assessment and (2) develop a
plan to respond to identified needs.
Following each year that Tribal
MIECHV grantees implement home
visiting services, they must submit Form
1: Demographic and Service Utilization
Data. The Form 1 data are used to help
ACF better understand the population
receiving services from Tribal MIECHV
grantees and the degree to which they
are using services, as well as better
understanding of the Tribal MIECHV
workforce. Overall, this information
collection will provide valuable
information to HHS that will guide
understanding of the Tribal MIECHV
Program and the provision of technical
assistance to Tribal MIECHV Program
grantees.
Respondents: Tribal Maternal, Infant,
and Early Childhood Home Visiting
Program Grantees.
