WHAT
WE DO...
The Department
of Human Services Board
is established in accordance
with Public Act 280 of 1939, commonly referred to as the Public
Welfare Act. The three members of the board, one member appointed
by the Governor, the other two appointed by the Ingham County
Board of Commissioners Human Services Committee, each serve
three year terms. Board members receive per diem payments.
The director of the Ingham County Department of Human
Services is the secretary to the Board. By agreement, the State
Department of Human Services and the County Department of
Human Services
appoint the Director of the Ingham County Department of
Human Services. All employees are under State Civil Service. The County
Department of Human Services Board advises the county agency on local
policies and procedures, and reviews all contracts for services
within the county. The Ingham County Department of Human
Services Board
has complete control of all funds being appropriated by the
Board of Commissioners. Funds are primarily used to provide
emergency services to individuals and families not covered
by state/federal assistance, and for foster care and other
services to temporary court wards ineligible for state/federal
payments. The Department of Human Services Board administers the Ingham
County Medical Care Facility.
