Public comment on an application to be submitted by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is being accepted through Friday.
The public comment centers on the Title V Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant, which provides funding to improve the health of mothers, infants and children, including children with health-care needs.
Based on a needs assessment, the seven priorities for the state for 2016-2020 are aimed at improving the health of the MCH population in seven different areas, including promoting social and emotional well-being through the provision of behavioral-health services.
MDHHS welcomes comments on the application, which must be received by 5 p.m. Friday and can be submitted by email to: daviss11@michigan.gov.
