The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) invites the public to comment on the Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Services Block Grant application.
Title V of the Social Security Act of 1935, as amended, provides funding to states to improve the health of mothers, infants and children, including children with special health care needs. Michigan’s
Title V application is for services from Oct. 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2022, and includes a report on activities and services provided in fiscal year (FY) 2020.
Title V state action plans address the following priority areas for the current five-year cycle (FY 2021-2025) to improve the health of the MCH population in Michigan:
• Low-risk cesarean delivery.
• Breastfeeding.
• Infant safe sleep.
• Bullying.
• Transition for youth with special health care needs to adult health care.
• Preventive dental visits for women and children.
• Childhood lead poisoning prevention.
• Immunizations for children and adolescents.
• Medical care and treatment for children with special health care needs.
• Pregnancy intention.
• Developmental, behavioral and mental health services.
These MCH priorities address needs across five federally identified population domains: women/maternal health, perinatal/infant health, child health, adolescent health and children with special health care needs.
The Title V draft application and annual report are available online at https://www.michigan.gov/documents/mdhhs/MI_TitleV_PrintVersion_FY22_5-27-21_726521_7.pdf. MDHHS welcomes comments on the application by 5 p.m. on June 30. Comments can be submitted to MDHHS-MCHBlockGrant@michigan.gov.
