Dear Majority Leader McConnell, Minority Leader Reid, Chairman Hatch, Ranking Member Wyden, Speaker
Boehner, Minority Leader Pelosi, Chairman Upton, Ranking Member Pallone, Chairman Pitts, Ranking Member
Green, Chairman Ryan, Ranking Member Levin, Chairman Boustany, and Ranking Member Doggett:
As diverse national, state, tribal and local organizations and elected officials committed to accountable policies
that both improve outcomes for vulnerable children, pregnant women and families and save taxpayer resources,
we write to urge you to reauthorize the bipartisan-supported Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home
Visiting Program (MIECHV program) at its current annual funding level of $400 million before the end of
March 2015.
As you know, our nation spends billions annually to address a host of health, educational and social
challenges that at-risk families face, including poor birth outcomes, child abuse and neglect, childhood
cognitive disabilities, and poor school readiness and academic achievement. These conditions, however, can
be reduced or prevented at a fraction of the costs with voluntary evidence-based home visiting programs.
MIECHV supports the implementation and expansion of evidence-based home visiting programs that help
children and families in 50 states, 6 territories, and numerous tribes and the Urban Indian Organizations
implementing tribal home visiting programs.
Scientific research demonstrates that evidence-based home visiting improves prenatal care and birth outcomes,
early child health and development, school readiness, and parenting practices; reduces child maltreatment, and
helps families become more self-sufficient. These outcomes can produce a significant return on investment for
state and federal government. Studies have found that evidence-based home visiting saves scarce resources. For
example, a 2005 report by the RAND Corporation, entitled Early Childhood Interventions: Proven Results,
1
Future Promise, found that two evidence-based home visiting programs saved from $1.80 to $5.70 per dollar
invested.
MIECHV is a wise investment and a good use of taxpayer money--qualities that states have embraced as a
sensible approach to the health, educational and fiscal challenges we face. MIECHV allows states flexibility in
choosing the home visiting initiatives that best meet their needs, while maintaining important accountability
provisions that ensure positive outcomes for children and families. Participation in home visiting is voluntary,
which means parents who participate in the program are committed to their success. MIECHV is a pro-family
program that enjoys bipartisan support in Congress. In fact, Congress previously voted in support of continued
funding for the MIECHV program. We urge you to include an extension of the MIECHV program at its current
funding level among legislation that must pass prior to March 2015.
