To provide emergency funding for home visiting programs during the pandemic, and for other purposes.
Have a question about what this bill does? Ask in plain English; the answer is drawn from the bill's actual text and official record, and it'll tell you when something isn't in the text rather than guess.
This bill provides supplemental funding to the Department of Health and Human Services for the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program. This program supports voluntary home visits by social workers and other professionals for families with young children in at-risk communities.
The funds may be used to
- expand access to virtual visits, such as by acquiring necessary technology for participating families;
- provide for specified training and administrative costs, including hazard pay; and
- meet emergency needs of participating families for diapers, prepaid grocery cards, and other supplies.
An entity that receives these funds must maintain existing staffing and funding levels, coordinate as practicable with local diaper banks when providing emergency supplies, and meet other conditions.
Referred to the House Committee on Appropriations.
