Purpose: Home visiting programs aim to support families in at-risk communities, advance health equity by leveraging individual family strengths, identify and address the social determinants of health, and ensure children and families have equal opportunity to reach their fullest potential.

Goals and Objectives: Idaho MIECHV aims to implement voluntary, evidence-based home visiting programs that serve families in at-risk communities to improve outcomes, ensure high-quality home visiting services, and collaborate with state and local partners to coordinate early childhood systems and high-quality services. Idaho MIECHV will accomplish this by:

1) Demonstrating outcomes through program evaluation and benchmark reporting
2) Offering reflective consultation and training opportunities to home visitors that are aligned and coordinated with the competencies of infant mental health
3) Developing and supporting CQI projects
4) Building a collaborative of home visiting programs statewide
5) Implementing a sustainable Medicaid billing process

Methodology: Idaho MIECHV has established contracts with LIAs to deliver EBHV services in at-risk communities using the Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) and Parents as Teachers (PAT) models. The at-risk communities in Idaho funded by Idaho MIECHV include the following: Boundary, Bonner, Kootenai, Shoshone, Benewah, Latah, Nez Perce, Clearwater, Lewis, Idaho, Adams, Valley, Lemhi, Boise, Elmore, Canyon, Owyhee, Ada, Elmore, Twin Falls, Jerome, Bannock, Bingham, Power, Madison, Bear Lake, Franklin, and Bonneville counties, as well as the counties that encompass the Coeur d'Alene, Nez Perce, and Shoshone-Bannock tribal lands. All 27 counties and communities identified as high-risk in the 2020 needs assessment will be served with MIECHV funds. The total proposed caseload of family slots is 405 for FY2023 and 405 for FY2024.

Key activities to ensure appropriate networking and support include: regularly coordinating and convening with state and community partners to guide planning and implementation; evaluation of program activities, outcomes, and implementation; and subrecipient monitoring via check-in calls, reports, data analysis, and biannual site visits.

Number of families served from 10/01/2021 to 9/30/2022: 555
Current caseload from 10/01/2023 to 09/30/2023: 425
