Board approves $1.485 million FY2026 Child Care Fund budget for juvenile services
Summary
The board approved a FY2026 Child Care Fund budget of $1,485,520 for the Juvenile Division — an increase of $204,800 driven by community‑based services and higher out‑of‑home care costs.
The Alpena County Board of Commissioners approved the FY2026 Child Care Fund budget on Oct. 30, authorizing $1,485,520 for the Juvenile Division.
Juvenile Officer Janelle Mott presented the budget, saying the fiscal year runs Oct. 1, 2025, through Sept. 30, 2026. The requested total represents an increase of $204,800 from the prior year, driven by higher demand and costs in community‑based services and out‑of‑home care, including foster care and independent living supports. The board approved the budget by roll call vote.
The approved allocation funds juvenile services and care contracts for the coming fiscal year; county staff said they will monitor expenditures and report as required during the FY2026 cycle.
