Federal Title V MCH Block Grant
Each year, on July 15th, the Family Health Bureau is required to submit an application to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB). The purpose is to monitor New Mexico’s Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Services Block Grant progress and expenditure.
Money from the grant is used to provide services to women, children, and children and youth with special health care needs.
The most recent application/report is available on a continuing basis for review by the public. The application/report includes details about current and past activities conducted by local public health departments and other agencies. It also includes plans for the coming year.
You are invited to provide input that will be utilized in planning for and writing New Mexico’s report for the upcoming year.
Federal Title V MCH Five Year Needs Assessment
In 2005, the Family Health Bureau of the New Mexico Department of Health conducted the Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) and Children/Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSCHN) statewide needs assessment for the period 2006 - 2010.
The federal funding agency, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, requires that a statewide MCH/CYSCHN needs assessment be conducted every five years for two main purposes: 1) in order to receive federal funds, and 2) to help states make the most appropriate program and policy decisions that promote the health of women, children, adolescents, CYSHCN and their families.
