Michigan Launching An In-Home Youth Services Initiative; RFP Released

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is launching an in-home services program for youth (ages 10 to 20) in the juvenile justice system in rural areas. The new program will serve as an additional alternative to placement in residential facilities by juvenile courts.
