About Title V

Title V originated as part of the Social Security Act in 1935 and is one of the largest federal block grant programs. This legislation was the origin of the federal government’s pledge of support to states in improving the health of mothers and children throughout the nation. Since the original authorization, Title V has been amended several times to reflect the increasing national interest in maternal and child health (MCH) and well-being.

Cameron County Department of Health & Human Services receives Title V Maternal & Child Health (MCH) Funding from the Texas Department of State Health Services. Read More about MCH.
