Grants to community-based collaborative secondary prevention programs for families of children ages 0-3. Services are designed to promote marriage and foster positive parenting skills, improve parent/child interaction, promote access to needed community services, increase local capacity to serve families at risk, improve school readiness, and support healthy family environments that discourage alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use. Fiscal Year 2008 funds will be committed to continue projects in various areas of the state, but also identify new areas to be served.
Grants are distributed through an interagency process in conjunction with the Children's Trust Fund and the interagency director's workgroup. Support of the local community collaborative is required. A 25 percent local match, of which not more than 10 percent is in-kind, is also required. For more information, contact the Michigan Children's Trust Fund at 1-800-CHILDREN or (517) 373-4320 or visit their website www.michigan.gov/ctf.
