Health isn't just about doctor visits—it's influenced by where we live, what we eat, how we get around, and the policies shaping these areas. We integrate health into all policy decisions through Michigan's Phase III Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Strategy, focusing on key domains like housing, food access, and transportation. · Good Housing = Good Health Program: Stable housing leads to better health outcomes, reducing disparities in our communities. We've improved housing for over 8,200 households, helping nearly 2,740 families with stabilization services. · Food Delivery Program: Our 4-year pilot ensures SNAP recipients in Kent and Wayne counties get nutritious food delivered right to their doorsteps. · Transportation: Access to employment, housing, food, and health care rely on transportation availability. We're working across agencies to increase access to safe, reliable transportation, supporting better health outcomes. To learn more about the SDOH Strategy, visit Michigan.gov/SDOH.

Juvenile Justice Reform employees attend national conference in Washington, D.C. Erin House, director of Juvenile Justice Reform, and employees from the Office of Juvenile Justice Reform traveled to Washington, D.C. last month to attend the Coalition for Juvenile Justice National Conference. The conference focused on improving juvenile justice and delinquency prevention systems, services, practices and policies. They networked with practitioners and advocates from across the country to discuss the latest research, developments and challenges in juvenile justice. This was an outstanding opportunity to collaborate with allies who have already implemented reform strategies and solicit feedback on how processes were executed, including learning from both challenges and successes that can be implemented in Michigan. While in D.C., they also had an opportunity to tour the U.S. Capitol and attend a learning session at the U.S. Supreme Court. The Juvenile Justice Reform team was joined by Holly Force, Juvenile Justice director, and members of the Michigan Committee on Juvenile Justice (MCJJ). Pictured below(from left to right) are Bob Higgins, MCJJ chair; Erin House, Juvenile Justice Reform director; Deandrea White, MCJJ member; Pete Piotrowski, Juvenile Justice Reform senior analyst; Danyelle Dobbins, Juvenile Justice Reform senior analyst; Natalya Henderson, MCJJ member; Mrs. Higgins, supporter of MCJJ; and Holly Force, Juvenile Justice director.
