Opportunity Summary:
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) offered this discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-13-255; CFDA 93.505) to fund Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) services under the Affordable Care Act. The key reason this competition exists is that Florida and Wyoming chose to relinquish their MIECHV funds and not participate as state grantees under Section 511(c) of the Social Security Act. Because those states stepped away, HRSA made the funding available directly to qualified nonprofit organizations so that evidence-informed home visiting services could still be delivered to eligible families living in at-risk communities within those states.
Eligible applicants were limited to nonprofit organizations, including 501(c)(3) organizations (and other eligible nonprofit entities as described in the full announcement), that could show an established record of operating early childhood home visiting programs or related initiatives in one or more states. Applicants had to clearly identify whether they were proposing to serve Florida or Wyoming, and any organization intending to work in both states had to submit two separate applications, one per state. The program focus was on providing home visiting services as defined in the funding opportunity announcement, targeting families in communities identified as at risk, and demonstrating the operational readiness and capacity to meet the legal and program requirements tied to the MIECHV model.
A major compliance point in the authorizing statute is that nonprofit grantees were expected, to the greatest extent practicable, to follow the same core requirements that apply when states receive MIECHV funds. In practice, that meant proposed services needed to be grounded in the needs assessment already conducted by the relevant state where services would be delivered, rather than starting from scratch. It also meant the nonprofit grantee would be required to establish quantifiable, measurable benchmarks with 3-year and 5-year targets consistent with MIECHV expectations for state grantees, aligning program planning and performance management with the federal framework used across the broader MIECHV program.
From an administrative standpoint, HRSA anticipated making two awards under this announcement. The posting date was November 23, 2012, with the original closing date of January 22, 2013, later extended to February 15, 2013; the opportunity was archived on March 23, 2013. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed. While the source data lists award floor and ceiling as 0, that typically indicates the specific funding levels were detailed elsewhere in the full FOA or accompanying budget documents rather than in the summary fields. Applicants needing assistance accessing the announcement were directed to the HRSA Call Center (877-464-4772) or CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, and the full announcement was available via the HRSA grants portal link provided in the notice.
