About this award
From the award's filing with the federal government.
- Maternal, infant and early childhood homevisiting grant program - annotation: the West Virginia home visitation program (wvhvp) aims to reduce health disparities by 10% and improve maternal and child health outcomes for vulnerable families across 42 high-risk counties. Evidence-based models to be used are parents as teachers (pat), healthy families america (hfa), early head start - home based option (ehs), and the maternal infant health outreach worker (mihow) program and the wvdh’s right from the start (rfts) program promising approach. Wvhvp will ensure intensive home visiting, doula enhancements and tobacco cessation interventions are incorporated with the contracted local implementing agencies (lias). Key activities include expanding the coordinated intake system (cis), enhancing workforce safety, and braiding funding to serve families impacted by substance use, foster care, and rural barriers such as access to health care
- Purpose
- The program is strategically transitioning to a maternal health and preventive chronic disease focus that addresses “communities facing greater barriers.” wvhvp will utilize federal matching funds to expand caseload capacity for priority populations, specifically addressing prenatal outcomes, child welfare interaction reduction, and support for foster and kinship caregivers. Wvhvp will work to create a vertically integrated safety net for West Virginia’s most vulnerable families. Goals and objectives: based upon 2025 baseline percentages, wvhvp identifies the following goals through september 2028: 1) reduce disparities in family health and well-being of families by 10% through evidence-based practices. 2) ensure implementation of home visiting services through a coordinated system to provide positive outcomes in high-risk and harder-to-engage families. 3) increase the number of priority population families served through intensive targeted home visiting in the highest at-risk counties identified through an updated needs assessment by 10%. 4) increase home visitor professional development, outreach and services to families to reduce chronic disease, including early childhood obesity, and bring awareness of the importance of maternal health overall. Approach: the wvhvp intends to serve 1,468 families per year. Key methodologies will include workforce supports, matching funds, community readiness toolkits, and the use of a phase 1 pilot of the rba (results-based accountability) framework that aligns and coordinates with the title v maternal, child and health (mch) block grant. Wvhvp will work with lias to incorporate data-driven success and system growth, innovation in maternal health, workforce excellence and safety, and operational readiness. The wvhvp will increase the role of the family advisory councils to ensure the “family voice” leads the work at both the state and local level when appropriate.
