Title V 5-Year Needs Assessment and State Action Plan

All 59 states and jurisdictions receive Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Services Block Grant funds to ensure that preventive and primary care services for pregnant women, infants, children, and adolescents, including those with special health care needs, have access to preventive and primary health care. The Title V legislation directs each state and jurisdiction to conduct a comprehensive, statewide MCH needs assessment every 5 years to identify the need for preventive and primary health care. The next 5-year needs assessment must be completed by July 15, 2025. Information from the needs assessment is used to develop a state action plan.

The resources below may help oral health programs and community partners become involved in the Title V Maternal and Child Health Bureau Block Grant 5-year needs assessment process and ultimately the development of the state action plan.

For more information and resources related to the 5-year needs assessment and the national performance measure for oral health, see the Title V Oral Health webpage.
