Opportunity Summary:
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), listed under Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-275 and CFDA 93.505. The program is meant to build stronger, more coordinated early childhood home visiting systems by helping states and territories expand and improve services for families living in communities considered "at risk." In practical terms, the funding supports home visiting models that have evidence behind them and are aimed at improving health, development, and family well-being outcomes during pregnancy and early childhood.
The opportunity has three core purposes. First, it is designed to strengthen and improve the programs and activities carried out under Title V, which refers to the federal-state Maternal and Child Health Services program. This means the grant is intended to complement and reinforce existing maternal and child health infrastructure rather than creating a disconnected initiative. Second, it emphasizes improving coordination of services in at risk communities, recognizing that families often interact with multiple systems at once (health care, public health, early intervention, child welfare, nutrition programs, and others) and that better alignment can reduce gaps, duplication, and barriers to access. Third, it focuses on identifying and delivering evidence-based home visiting programs that can measurably improve outcomes for families in those communities. The emphasis on "evidence-based" signals an expectation that funded activities will rely on proven or well-supported approaches rather than informal or untested service models.
A key requirement embedded in the program design is how "at risk communities" are identified. Rather than leaving this solely to local preference, the grant frames it as the result of a statewide assessment of needs and of existing resources available to meet those needs. That assessment is intended to guide where home visiting should be prioritized, what service gaps exist, and how resources can be targeted to populations and geographic areas with the highest need. The overall intent, shared by HRSA and the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), is to produce a coordinated, statewide system of early childhood home visiting in every state and eligible jurisdiction, supported by the infrastructure and quality controls needed to maintain high-quality, evidence-based practice over time.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a grant (not a cooperative agreement or contract) in the health activity category, with an estimated total funding level of $90,000,000 and an expected 56 awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which generally means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award (though programs may still choose to braid other resources for sustainability). The eligible applicants include U.S. states and specified jurisdictions, explicitly including the District of Columbia and several U.S. territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa). The eligibility field also notes "Others (see text...)" in the original listing, but the provided eligibility information clearly indicates the state and territory focus that aligns with the program goal of establishing statewide systems.
The timeline details in the source reflect the historical posting and closing cycle for this particular announcement: it was posted June 10, 2010, originally closed July 9, 2010, and later reflected a current closing date of August 18, 2010, with an archive date of October 17, 2010. For those looking for the original announcement materials, HRSA provided an additional information link through the HRSA grants site. For access issues, HRSA directs applicants to its call center via email (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and phone (877-464-4772, also listed as 877-Go4-HRSA), which is the standard support channel for technical difficulties with HRSA grant postings.
Overall, the grant opportunity is best understood as a federal investment in building and scaling coordinated, evidence-based home visiting systems that connect maternal and child health priorities under Title V with early childhood and family support services, using statewide needs assessments to target at risk communities and improve outcomes for pregnant people, infants, and young children.
