Kids Count in Michigan
Kids Count in Michigan is annual publication examining the status of children and families in all of Michigan's 83 counties and the city of Detroit. Kids Count in Michigan is a partnership between the Michigan League for Human Services and Michigan’s Children - two organizations committed to providing information about the status of children and families in Michigan communities and the role of public policy in impacting that status. This knowledge can then be used to improve policies and practices to make Michigan children healthier, safer and more successful in school and in life. |
