Description

This competition is open to nonprofit organizations proposing to provide services under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) grant program in the State of Wyoming or the State of North Dakota. Both the State of Wyoming and the State of North Dakota have relinquished MIECHV funds and are not participating in the MIECHV grant program under Section 511(c) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 711(c)). Accordingly, grant funding is being made available to qualified nonprofit organizations for the purposes described in this funding opportunity announcement. Applicant nonprofit organizations must demonstrate that they will provide home visiting services as defined in this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) to families in communities identified as being at risk either within the State of Wyoming or within the State of North Dakota and will meet further legal and program requirements. If an applicant nonprofit organization wishes to apply to provide services in both states, a separate application must be filed for each state in which services are proposed to be provided. Eligible applicants for this competitive grant opportunity are nonprofit organizations with an established record of providing early childhood home visiting programs or initiatives in a state or several states. Subsection 511(h)(2)(B) of the authorizing legislation specifically requires that program requirements for MIECHV grants to nonprofit organizations be, to the greatest extent practicable, consistent with the requirements applicable to eligible entities that are states; require each nonprofit organization grantee to carry out the program funded under this announcement based on the needs assessment that was previously conducted by the relevant state in which it is now proposing to provide services (i.e., either Wyoming or North Dakota) under subsection (b); and require the organization to establish quantifiable, measurable 3- and 5-year benchmarks consistent with the requirements for eligible entities that are states, as set forth in subsection (d)(1)(A).
