MIECHV/EHS Home-Based Model
The EHS Home-Based Model is one of the evidence-based home visiting models selected for the Affordable Care Act Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program. All the selected models help to: improve child health; prevent child abuse and neglect; encourage positive parenting; and promote child development and school readiness. MIECHV coordinates work at the federal, state, and local levels and grants are made to states and tribal communities.
