FY27 480-40-3713 Maternal Child Home Visiting

MCHV provides enhanced home visiting services to support pregnant people and parents with young children ages 0-5 who live in communities that face greater risks and barriers to achieving positive maternal and child health outcomes. MCHV programs provide family support and coaching through planned, regular visits with a trained professional based on a family’s needs and schedules. Home visiting is a free and voluntary program, and home visitors work with parents on practical parenting skills as well as family bonding before birth and as children grow up. In addition, home visiting helps families connect with other community services.

The Maternal Child Home Visiting program primarily serves families at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. Families who earn between 200% and 400% of the Federal Poverty Level are eligible for services if they are in any of the MIECHV priority populations or the Early Learning Council’s priority populations or if they are experiencing other risk factors.

The Maternal Child Home Visiting program supports home visiting program models including: Healthy Families America (HFA), Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP), and Parents as Teachers (PAT). Some programs use the doula enhancement for home visiting.

The Maternal Child Home Visiting program supports innovations in home visiting including, but not limited to, the following:
• Moving Beyond Depression
• Home visiting for families with involvement in the justice system
• Home visiting for Illinois newcomer families
• Home visiting for families experiencing homelessness
