Grantee Partner Insights

“A safe living situation can be the difference between recovery and active addiction for someone who has recently relapsed.”

Dawn Farm, FY19 Report

“We recognize the importance of creating a learning environment and the impact this has on the success of the agency.  As middle management improves their leadership skills their staff and clients will benefit also.  Understanding the program outcomes and what drives behaviors will improve service delivery and client success.”

Turning Point, FY18 report

“Youth with diverse SOGIE are among the most vulnerable populations at every stage of the juvenile justice system. Approximately 20% of the overall population of youth in detention or confinement settings identify as LGBTQ—almost three times the total estimated percentage of LGBTQ-identified youth in the U.S.”

Michigan Council on Crime and Delinquency, FY19 report
