SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Tribal Maternal, Infant and Early 
Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program, funded from a 3 percent set-
aside to the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting 
Program, is designed to strengthen tribal capacity to support and 
promote the health and well-being of American Indian and Alaska Native 
(AIAN) families; expand the evidence base around home visiting in 
tribal communities; and support and strengthen cooperation and linkages 
between programs that service AIAN children and their families. Funds 
under the Tribal MIECHV Program support Indian tribes, consortia of 
tribes, tribal organizations, and urban Indian organizations to provide 
high-quality, culturally relevant, voluntary, evidence-based home 
visiting services to families in at-risk communities; conduct a needs 
and readiness assessment of the at-risk community; engage in 
collaborative planning and capacity building efforts to address 
identified needs; establish, measure, and report on progress toward 
meeting benchmark performance measures for participating children and 
families; and conduct rigorous local evaluations to answer questions of 
importance to tribal communities and examine the effectiveness of home 
visiting programs with AIAN populations.
    A single-source supplemental grant of $45,000 was awarded to the 
Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes in Pablo, MT, to support the 
hire of an additional home visitor. A single-source supplemental grant 
of $25,000 was awarded to Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians in 
Siletz, OR, to support their goal of providing needed services to 
families with children aged 3 to 5 years old. A single-source 
supplemental grant of $120,000 was awarded to Inter-Tribal Council of 
Michigan in Sault Ste. Marie, MI, to support appropriate reflective 
supervision for its home visitors and to expand services at a high 
performing site where there is a waiting list. A single-source 
supplemental grant of $50,000 was awarded to the Native American Health 
Center, Inc. in Oakland, CA, to provide enhanced mental health support 
to high-risk families and home visitors. A single-source supplemental 
grant of $50,000 was awarded to the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior 
Chippewa in Bayfield, WI, to support provision of reflective 
supervision for program staff, including the development of culturally 
appropriate strategies, and to support enhanced dissemination of 
information about the community's home visiting program and its early 
childhood system (e.g., digital storytelling). A single-source 
supplemental grant of $45,000 was awarded to Riverside-San Bernardino 
County Indian Health, Inc. in Banning, CA, to support the hire of an 
additional home visitor.
