APTR Urges Congress To Support Title V MCH Services Block Grant

APTR, and its Friends of HRSA organizations dedicated to improving the health of all women, children, and families, strongly urge you to support at least $1 billion for the Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Services Block Grant in the FY2023 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education & Related Agencies Appropriations bill. The Title V MCH Block Grant is a cost-effective, accountable, and flexible funding source used to address the most critical, pressing, and unique needs of maternal and child health populations in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and other jurisdictions.

We thank Congress for funding the Title V MCH Block Grant at $747.7 million in FY2022 and urge them to provide an increase to at least $1 billion in FY2023, including a robust increase for the state formula fund.
