MIECHV Local Implementing Agency (LIA) Opportunity

The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) is issuing a competitive Request for Applications to award sub‑grants to qualified Local Implementing Agencies (LIAs) that will deliver evidence‑based Parents as Teachers (PAT) home‑visiting services in 16 high‑need counties. Applicants must be able to staff, supervise, and manage a home‑visiting program, meet PAT affiliation requirements (or complete affiliation within three months of award), and handle all fiscal, data‑collection, and quality‑improvement obligations. Up to $6 million is available for the two‑year performance period (Dec 1 2026 – Sep 29 2028), with an estimated capacity to serve 600 families. The award will fund personnel, training, supervision, data systems, and related program costs; no matching funds are required. Successful LIAs will be responsible for recruiting families, providing four core home‑visiting components, maintaining the Visit Tracker data system, and participating in continuous quality‑improvement activities.
