Youth in Transition Funds for youth that have had out of home care
by Mary Jo Vortkamp 23 Aug '19

23 Aug '19

Hi Michigan Team, I have a feeling that many of our young people qualify for this program and don't know about it. Keep in mind that I have heard it takes a very long time to actually get the money, so please encourage folks to not put money down on an apartment or car before this money is actually coming in! Youth in Transition, (Michigan's name for Federal Chafee funding) is a funding source available to cover expenses related to the development of self-sufficiency for youth who experienced out of home care after the age of 14 and have not yet reached age 23. Eligible expenses must not be covered by any other government or community resources.

CENSUSational Webinar by United for Libraries!
by Membiela, Clare (MDE) 23 Aug '19

23 Aug '19

Greetings! The 2020 Census is around the proverbial corner and Michigan Libraries (as well as those that govern and support them!) have a MAJOR STAKE in ensuring an accurate population count since some of the primary funding sources for Public Libraries in Michigan rely on some form of population or census data to calculate payments. In addition, the demographic data that emanates from Census numbers is used by some State and Federal agencies and organizations to determine program and grant eligibility. Even corporations use this data in considering where to locate new offices or facilities. Accurate Census data can have big impacts on many aspects of a community - especially the public library (which is not only directly affected by the data, but is also often the gateway to the community ABOUT the data and its uses for business, jobs, social programs, etc.). United for Libraries (the division of ALA devoted to Library Trustees and Friends) is conducting a webinar on the Census that is aimed specifically at Public Library Trustees and Friends groups. Michigan's Statewide membership (sponsored by the Library of Michigan using funds from the Institute for Library & Museum Services (ILMS) & The Library Services & Technology Act (LSTA)) enables FREE ACCESS to this Webinar for ALL Michigan Libraries, Trustees and Friends Groups.
