Proposed Caseload of Family Slots: 998 (FFY24); 1178 (Estimate FFY25); Current Caseload: 998 Key Activities: MDH-FHV will provide oversight and monitoring of budget and expenditures, technical assistance, custom reports, and feedback on CQI improvements and activities to each LIA. MDH-FHV will also work with Title V and other state agencies to implement and maintain the support for EBHV best practices through enhanced linkages with other maternal and child health program planning. Providing data reports to monitor fidelity, progress towards meeting MIECHV benchmarks, and identify areas for technical assistance and CQI will be a strong focus.
