Counties fear costlier foster care
Recent court-ordered improvements to Michigan's foster care system are being praised for helping children, but they could cost cash-strapped counties millions in unplanned expenses.
The changes require local Department of Human Services offices to license family members who take their own relatives into foster care -- a step that previously was not mandated. And in many of those cases, counties may be asked to pay part of that bill.
