Summary of Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Outcomes for FY 2025

By Vik VishnubhaktaAs presented at the Home Visiting Community Advisory Board (HVCAB) meeting on Monday, Jan. 12, the Home Visiting Programs are addressing many of the identified needs for their enrolled families. This has been demonstrated by both robust program outcomes reported over time and home visiting satisfaction survey results.

This data applies to Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) enrollees from 2017 to 2025:

• The number of enrolled caregivers increased from 493 in 2017 to 1,202 in 2025. Correspondingly, the number of index children increased from 458 to 1,146.
• The caregivers were disproportionately between ages 22 and 34, and the index children were generally under age 3.
• The most commonly reported educational attainment among caregivers was a high school diploma or GED (43% in 2025).
• The overwhelming majority of enrollees reported speaking English at home.
• Most of the caregivers and index children reported having Medicaid or CHIP as their health insurance coverage (71.4% in 2025).

Overall, the MIECHV-supported sites fared well on most benchmarks, particularly early-childhood-related benchmarks. The following highlights the success reported during FY 2025 (Oct. 1, 2024, to Sept. 30, 2025):

• The overwhelming majority of newly enrolled mothers were documented as receiving a depression screening with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9).
• Approximately 80% of prenatally enrolled mothers received a postpartum care visit within three months of delivery.
• Of children enrolled in home visiting, 84.6% received an Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) screening at the age-appropriate time interval.
• Of enrolled children, 88.8% were reportedly in a household where a family member was documented as reading, telling stories, and/or singing songs with the child most days during a typical week.
• More than 90% of newly enrolled primary caregivers were documented as being screened for intimate partner violence.

As we progress through FY 2026, we encourage the Family Support Specialists to keep up the excellent work and to reach out to the state team with any questions or issues.
