How Title V Funds MCH Efforts In California

As described in the previous section, Title V supports a wealth of activities in California. CDPH/MCAH also takes the lead in administering other state and federal funds that align with Title V to support key programs and initiatives to improve the health of moms, babies, children, adolescents, and families in California.

CDPH/MCAH receives Federal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) funds and State General Funds to lead local home visiting programs across the state. CDPH/MCAH is committed to responding with adaptability and dedication to meet the needs of the diverse MCAH populations across our state. The Title V Maternal and Child Health Block Grant provides core funding to California that helps MCAH to lead, fund, partner, and support activities to meet its mission.
