Notice
Summary
HRSA is asking for public feedback on a new survey to check if home visiting programs for moms and young kids meet updated rules. This affects programs helping families in at-risk communities and aims to keep services effective and evidence-based. Comments are open until January 12, 2026, with no new costs expected for participants.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Home‑Visiting Models Face Eligibility Review
HRSA will survey and assess all home‑visiting models that meet HHS evidence criteria (24 models listed as of November 2025) to see if they also meet MIECHV statutory rules. Models must meet requirements such as being in existence at least 3 years, having rigorous published evaluations (randomized controlled or quasi‑experimental designs), training standards for virtual delivery equivalent to in‑person, and providing at least one in‑person home visit per each 12‑month enrollment; models that do not meet these rules will be ineligible for future use and may only continue through the current performance period, and funding recipients will be expected to propose projects using models approved for future awards.
Model Developers Must Complete 3‑Hour Survey
HRSA will request information from model developers via a standardized survey and developers will have 30 days to respond after receiving the survey. HRSA estimates 24 respondents will each take about 3 hours to complete the survey (total annual burden 72 hours); developers may ask for reconsideration of a negative determination within 15 days and HRSA has 45 days to reassess; HRSA expects no new monetary costs for participants.
