Description
The New Jersey Department of Children and Families awarded a grant to implement the evidence‑based Family Connects home‑visiting model in Mercer County. The award provides up to $400,000 annually for a maximum of three years to deliver post‑natal nurse visits to approximately 1,600 families each year, covering 80 % of births at Capital Health Medical Center. The contract requires staffing of six full‑time RN home visitors, a part‑time RN supervisor, and a fractional physician for oversight, with a General & Administrative cost cap of 10 % of direct service costs. Funding combines a federal Preschool Development Grant with contributions from the Burke Foundation and the Trenton Health Team (the latter two are not counted toward the DCF award). The grantee must submit quarterly performance and financial reports, retain data ownership by DCF and the Burke Foundation, and adhere to state/federal cost principles and anti‑discrimination statutes.
