The purpose of this Notice of Award (NOA) is to provide information about SFY 2023-24 local allocations for the California Department of Public Health (CDPH)/California Home Visiting Program (CHVP) State General Fund (SGF) evidence-based home visiting (EBHV) and the Innovation Project (INNV). CDPH/CHVP receives and will allocate $54.7 million annually in SGF local assistance funding for early childhood home visiting across the state.

Evidence-Based Home Visiting (EBHV). Effective July 1, 2023, CDPH/CHVP will distribute a total of $47,760,624 to the 57 LHJs that opted in for SGF EBHV funding. Each LHJ will receive an annual allocation with a base amount of $400,000 plus an additional amount based on each LHJ’s proportion of Medi-Cal births statewide. Final annual allocations for SFY 2023-24 for the 57 LHJs that opted in for SGF funding are indicated in column two of Table 1 below. The goal of this funding is to increase the number of families participating in the three EBHV models supported by CDPH/CHVP: Healthy Families America (HFA), Nurse Family Partnership (NFP), and Parents as Teachers (PAT).

Innovation Funding (INNV). Effective July 1, 2023, a total of $3,736,067 will be distributed to the seven continuing CHVP SGF Innovation Project recipients. The annual allocations by LHJ are indicated in column three of Table 1 below. The goal of this funding is to support implementation of home visiting as a primary intervention strategy for families from pregnancy through kindergarten entry with an evidence-informed model or an evidence-based model with an innovative practice to meet a local need. The SGF Innovation Project aims to 1) provide home visiting services to populations that may benefit from an innovative approach to maximize service utilization and promote positive outcomes and family success and 2) learn and share best practices related to the implementation of innovative home visiting services.

Request for Supplemental Information to Expand the CHVP Innovation Funding. There is a combined total of $3,203,309 in unallocated SGF EBHV and INNV funds due to LHJs ending projects or declining funds. CDPH/CHVP will release a simple Request for Supplemental Information (RSI) application to expand the CHVP Innovation Project with these funds. The RSI will be open to all 61 LHJs and applications will be accepted in three categories of innovative home visiting services: the two original categories of evidence-informed model or evidence-based model implemented with an innovative approach or add-on component, plus a third category of an alternative EBHV model. RSI details, guidelines, and timelines will be released as soon as possible.

Following issuance of this Notice of Award, CDPH/CHVP will release a single CHVP agreement funding application (AFA) package for SFY 2023-24 to each LHJ. The AFA package will include separate scopes of work and budgets for SGF EBHV, SGF INNV, and federal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) and LHJs will complete the applicable components based on their CHVP allocation(s).

Reimbursement of invoices is subject to compliance with all state requirements pertaining to CDPH/CHVP and adherence to all applicable regulations, policies, and procedures. All awards are contingent upon approval and appropriation in the Budget Act and state spending authority.​
