Local MCH Clause Samples

Local MCH. Local MCH funds can be used to support the health of women, children, and families in communities across Michigan. Funding addresses one or more Title V Maternal and Child Health Block Grant national and state priority areas and/or a local MCH priority need identified through a needs assessment process. Priority areas are developed into Local MCH Work Plans which are described in the Annual Local MCH Plan. These funds are to be budgeted as a funding source in two project categories. The Local MCH projects need to be budgeted separately. Please note only two LMCH project titles can be used: • MCH – Children • MCH – All Other These funding sources cannot be used under the WIC element except in extreme circumstances where a waiver is requested in advance of expenditures, and evidence is provided that the expenditures satisfy all funding requirements. Local health departments are encouraged to select only one to two performance measures and delve deeper into the strategies in an effort to “move the needle.”
