DCYF warned MIECHV (federal home visiting) reauthorization and FY27 award size are uncertain; staff estimate a possible one‑year boost and asked HVAC for ideas (stabilize workforce, raise rates for existing programs, or pilot expansion). Members warned about 'no‑supplant' language and urged prioritizing sustainability.

Staff presented a FY27 EDF recommendation totaling $4,170,000; members discussed a MOVE program backlog and five pending SBIR matching applications after the SBIR local matching program lapsed, and agreed to accept the executive recommendation while scheduling a fall work session on MOVE policy and urging SBIR reauthorization.
