Evaluation of Michigan's Foster care case management system

Article Abstract:

Michigan's Family Independence Agency examined outcomes in nine pilot and nine comparison counties to determine if children in the pilot counties achieved permanency, either returned home or another permanent arrangement, more rapidly than those in the comparison counties. Pilot counties were more likely to reunify children post implementation than were comparison counties and these children were more likely to reenter foster care.
