Who uses IHVE?

Many FHV grantees receiving funding from MDH are required to submit data to IHVE. Refer to the current Family Home Visiting Grantee Requirements document posted on the Funding and Grants Management page for more information about which FHV grants require data submissions to IHVE.

Which data system should I use to submit data to IHVE?

The following data systems have IHVE-compatible data collection forms:
