    The Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program Grants seek to fund evidence-based home visiting programs tailored for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) families. Under opportunity number HHS-2025-ACF-ECD-TH-0106, eligible entities include federally recognized Indian tribes, tribal organizations, and urban Indian organizations, with applications due by March 17, 2025. This program commits an expected total funding of $3 million to support up to six recipients, with awards ranging from $250,000 to $1 million over a 63-month project duration. Key program goals include enhancing early childhood outcomes, establishing high-quality home visiting services, and integrating evidence-based practices in tribal communities. Awardees must conduct a Community Needs and Readiness Assessment (CNRA), collaborate with local partners, and sustain culturally relevant programs aimed at improving family health and child development. The application process emphasizes the importance of engagement with the targeted communities and outlines a structured review based on criteria like need for assistance and organizational capacity. Funding priorities favor programs addressing unmet community needs, particularly those without prior experience with home visiting services. Through this initiative, the federal government aims to bolster early childhood care within AI/AN populations, underlining the significance of culturally grounded support systems for families.
