Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program Model Eligibility Review Survey

The MIECHV program supports voluntary, evidence-based home visiting services during pregnancy and to families with young children up to kindergarten entry living in at-risk communities. One key program requirement is that programs deliver services using models that meet HHS criteria for evidence of effectiveness.1 HRSA and ACF define such service delivery models as “evidence-based.” ACF administers the Home Visiting Evidence of Effectiveness (HomVEE) review process to identify early childhood home visiting models that demonstrate evidence of effectiveness.2 However, not all evidence-based service delivery models approved through the HomVEE process meet MIECHV statutory requirements such that they may be used to carry out the MIECHV Program in fidelity to applicable program requirements. This ICR to proposes a survey to identify service delivery models that meet both HHS criteria for evidence of effectiveness, as determined by HomVEE review, and applicable MIECHV statutory requirements, and therefore may be used by eligible entities to provide home visiting services through the MIECHV Program.
