Are models on HomVEE’s website automatically eligible for Tribal MIECHV funding?
Tribal MIECHV grant recipients may select home visiting models that are either evidence-based among Tribal populations (as determined by HomVEE) or that qualify as a promising approach. Currently, models on HomVEE’s website qualify as either evidence-based or a promising approach and are therefore eligible for Tribal MIECHV funding. Model selection is designed to be driven by the needs of a particular community, as determined by a community needs and readiness assessment. For additional information about the Tribal MIECHV Program, see the ACF website.
Is there any research specific to Indigenous peoples and communities?
Yes. In addition to the main HomVEE review, HomVEE periodically updates a review of models that were implemented with Indigenous communities or included substantial proportions of Indigenous peoples (such as American Indian and Alaska Native families) in the study samples. The results of this review are presented in a report that can be accessed on the Home visiting resources for Indigenous peoples and communities page.
