Synopsis
The Office of Early Childhood Development (ECD) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) will be soliciting applications for the Fiscal Year 2027 Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program: Development and Implementation Grants. Funds will support 5-year cooperative agreements between ACF and federally recognized Indian tribes (or a consortium of Indian tribes), tribal organizations, or urban Indian organizations interested in developing and implementing an evidence-based home visiting program serving expectant families and families with young children aged birth to kindergarten. Awards will support development and implementation of high-quality, culturally grounded, evidence-based home visiting services to American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) children and families; implementation of performance measurement and continuous quality improvement systems; and development of early childhood systems.
Home visiting programs are intended to promote outcomes such as improved maternal and prenatal health, infant health, and child health and development; reduced child maltreatment; improved parenting practices related to child development outcomes; improved school readiness; improved family socio-economic status; improved coordination of referrals to community resources and supports; and reduced incidence of injuries, crime, and domestic violence.
