  1. Question: I wanted to inquire if there is any flexibility in the program design that would allow us to proceed without the home visit requirement. Answer: The HRFCM program standards cannot be met without conducting home visits. 75% is the performance standard expectation for number of families who receive monthly nurse home visits throughout the duration of pregnancy and throughout the first three months after birth. IDHS will not accept request for waivers for this requirement.

  1. Question: It appears that in the grant NOFO for HRFCM that only 3 counties will be funded Sangamon, St. Clair and Winnebago and that agencies within these counties have to compete to get the grant. All other counties are excluded. Is that correct?
    • Answer:  The NOFO for HRFCM pilot 26-444-80-3383-01 is only being offered to applicants in the 3 geographic areas listed in the NOFO. Counties outside of the HRFCM pilot area are included in the BBO-C NOFO 26-444-80-3556-01. The HRFCM pilot counties will not have a BBO-C program.
