What is Title V?
The nation’s longest standing public health legislation focused solely on improving the health of all mothers and children, including children with
special health care needs (CSHCN)
Appropriates funds to states to:
• Ensure access to quality health services
• Promote the health of children by providing preventive and primary care services

Title V MCH Services Block Grants

Every 5 years, states conduct a needs assessment
to prioritize MCH needs
Each year, states submit a block grant application outlining their strategic priorities for the year
With each block grant application, states select 5
National Performance Measures (out of 15), 3-5
state priority measures, and one or more state outcome
measures
