IN RE: STATE OF MICHIGAN'S COMMUNITY FOSTER CARE HOUSING PROGRAM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr, Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the State of Michigan is pushing a great deinstitutionalization of patients
without regard for the patients or the taxpaying citizens living around these foster care homes;
and
WHEREAS the State of Michigan has been forcing the placement of these foster care homes
on comnunities that lack the community support services needed to care for mentally ill persons;
and
WHEREAS the State of Michigan is placing such a large emphasis on these foster care homes
strictly due to a profit motive, since the state pays 100% of costs in a state run instituticn and
only 50% in a foster care facility with the federal government picking up the other 502; and
WHEREAS a recent audit details a loss or waste of $35 million a year in state community
placement programs; and
WHEREAS some home operators are said to be earning up to $500,000 a year from the state
and that some homes may be leased for up to three times their value; and
WHEREAS the report also revealed that former state employees now own or operate some
homes in a possible conflict of interest; and

and
WHEREAS these recommendations foramendments were primarily for the concerns of over-
concentration and did not only apply to new licenses but also renewals; and
WHEREAS there is concern by local government regarding their lack of control in licensing,
placement, inspections, etc., and the complete intentional usurping of their zoning laws by State
statutes; and
WHEREAS this has resulted in continuous mismanagement of foster care homes on all levels;
and
WHEREAS the control of foster care homes by the State Department of Social Services has
not lessened the problems of the single family neighborhood, but has created a schism between State

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that all foster care homes be subject to the local zoning
ordinance where the foster care home is to be located.
