    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.

Carole Johnson,
Administrator.
