The Maternal and Child Health Block Grant, also known as Title V, is dedicated to improving family health and well-being across generations. Title V enables the Department of Public Health (DPH) to develop, implement, and evaluate policies and programs for pregnant people, parents, caregivers, infants, children, and youth, including those with special health needs. Title V serves as a funder, convener, and collaborator to promote family-driven, equitable, evidence-based, and data-informed services and programs. Title V’s vision and strategy is grounded in DPH’s commitment to eliminating institutional and structural racism.
