Justification: NICHQ, as the current HS Technical Assistance Support Center, and recipient of the Supporting HS Performance Project, provides national support to all HRSA HS project grantees. The supplemental funds will support new and continued APN activities. APN activities aim to reduce infant mortality rates, address disparities in maternal and infant health outcomes, and address social determinants of health. APNs are former HS participants who have navigated complex and often disparate health, education, and social services. These former HS participants, known as "peer navigators," help current HS families by providing guidance and information about public benefits and help to address issues such as food insecurity, unstable housing, and lack of transportation.
NICHQ will use supplemental funds to support HS grantees to implement this peer-to-peer workforce model, the APN Services Pilot. The APN Services Pilot was previously known as the Benefits Bundle Pilot. The APN Services Pilot is an interagency collaboration between the Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of Management and Budget/U.S. Digital Service.
The pilot consists of five HS projects in Florence, SC, Atlanta, GA, Baton Rouge, LA, Los Angeles, CA and Stoneville, Mississippi.

Administrator.
