State Budget Update: Final Analysis Online

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.
