Early Childhood Development (ECD)

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and U.S. Department of Education (ED) issued a joint letter to state school and early childhood leaders to collaborate on a mixed delivery approach to preschool and leverage federal funding to improve access to preschool.

The Tribal, Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV) is thrilled to announce that the FY 2024 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) application package has been published on Grants.gov! Administered by the Office of Early Childhood Development (ECD), this grant will support 5-year cooperative agreements between ACF and federally recognized Indian tribes, tribal organizations, or urban Indian organizations interested in developing, implementing, or expanding an evidence-based home visiting program serving expectant families and families with young children.
