Increasing funding for evidence-based home visitation in Nebraska can open new opportunities under the newly reauthorized Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting program (MIECHV). MIECHV supports evidence-based, early childhood home visiting across the country.
Healthy Families America (HFA) is one of the models that meets the evidence requirements for support from MIECHV. Moreover, the MIECHV program was reauthorized by Congress in December 2022 through the Jackie Walorski Maternal and Child Home Visiting Reauthorization Act.
To that effect, PCA America’s State Policy Specialist testified in support of LB114 before the Legislature’s Appropriations Committee.
