Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Homevisiting Grant Program — CFDA 93.870

$2.35 billion in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Homevisiting Grant Program (CFDA 93.870). The listing carries 440 awards, 65 recipients, and a 56-jurisdiction geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not outlays and not a count of home visits, families, or nurses. Sixty-five recipients against 56 jurisdictions, with about 6.8 award rows each, is a state-formula file with a multi-year amendment book.

Key figures

  • CFDA 93.870 shows $2.35 billion in USAspending obligations for the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Homevisiting Grant Program.
  • The listing covers 440 awards and 65 recipients.
  • Awards are coded to 56 jurisdictions in the USAspending geographic count.
  • Totals are obligations, not outlays or visit counts.

Home-visiting grant obligations at $2.35 billion

USAspending.gov records $2,350,368,752.90 in obligations under CFDA 93.870. Four hundred forty awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $5.34 million per award — consistent with multi-year state allocations rather than visit-level payments. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical family caseload cost or a per-visit amount.

The assistance-listing title is MATERNAL, INFANT AND EARLY CHILDHOOD HOMEVISITING GRANT PROGRAM. CFDA 93.870 is the identifier. Other maternal-and-child-health listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $2.35 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined home-visiting total this packet does not contain.

65 recipients across 56 jurisdictions

Sixty-five recipients share 440 awards, or about 6.8 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $2.35 billion evenly would assign about $36.2 million per recipient. That density is a state-agency portfolio: several award years or amendments per jurisdiction, not hundreds of local visiting programs on the federal extract. The packet does not list the 65. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal award, not a census of families or home visitors.

Fifty-six jurisdictions in the geographic count cover states, territories, and additional coded entities in the USAspending state field. Formula dollars still vary by statute the packet does not reprint. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a visit or family count

Among health-formula listings, 93.870 is a moderate-row file: 440 awards against 65 recipients. Multi-year awards and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique allocations. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of home-visiting programs.” Recipients (65) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (440) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report visits completed, families enrolled, or infant-health outcomes. Citing 440 as visits or families would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions.

Obligations versus home-visiting outlays

The $2.35 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against MIECHV awards — are not in the packet. A state agency can show a large obligation stock while local programs draw down on a slower calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 93.870 tables omit

The MIECHV hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a family roster, not a nurse directory, and not an outcomes report. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $2,350,368,752.90. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 440 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 56 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on visits.

Where the 93.870 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 93.870 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other health listings. For 93.870 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 93.870’s 440 awards spread $2,350,368,752.90 across 65 recipients and 56 jurisdictions. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 6.8 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. Read 93.870 as a MIECHV formula book: 65 agencies, 56 jurisdictions, and about 6.8 rows per recipient. The $2.35 billion remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov, not a visit or family census.
