As designated by the CHVP ARP, funds can be used toward providing prepaid grocery cards, in the amount of $200 each, to the Department's Maternal Infant Early Childhood Home Visiting NFP clients for the purpose of meeting the emergency needs of the families. The department expects to purchase up to 788 gift cards from Walmart. Each client will receive 1 card upon completion of program family assessment timepoint periods: 1) 5-7^th pregnancy encounter, 2) 36th week gestational age encounter, 3) infant birth encounter, 4) infant 6 month encounter, 5) toddler 3^rd visit encounter, 6) toddler 18 month encounter, 7) toddler 24 month encounter.
