State Budget Update: Final Analysis

Posted 11-03-09

On October 30th — just short of another possible government shutdown—the Governor signed the final budgets into law, including the budgets for the Departments of Human Services (DHS) and Community Health (DCH). Michigan's Children's Budget Basics report provides an overview of how these budgets will affect children and families.

The final budget includes cuts in child abuse and neglect prevention funding, foster care payments, and k-12 education, but restored cuts in before- and after-school programs, teen parent counseling, and marriage and fatherhood initatives.

Read more in the Oct. 2 Budget Basics report.

Michigan's Children is a statewide, independent voice for children and their families. We work with lawmakers, business leaders, and communities to make Michigan a place where all children have the opportunity to thrive.

Our Priorities

Michigan's Children, through our Board of Directors, annually establishes priorities that guide our administrative and legislative advocacy. We use those priorities in our work directly with policy makers and to assist community leaders, parents, youth and others to advocate on their own behalf.
