The proposed 2026 budget for the Benzie-Leelanau District Health Department's Parenting Communities program outlines several innovative initiatives aimed at supporting families. Among the key priorities is the distribution of free car seats for all newborns in the county, ensuring safer transportation for infants. This initiative reflects the program's commitment to enhancing child safety and welfare.
Additionally, the budget emphasizes the importance of fostering better connections with local school districts. By strengthening these relationships, the program aims to create a more cohesive support network for families, facilitating smoother transitions for children as they enter the education system.
Another exciting development is the introduction of a new child care voucher program. This initiative is designed to alleviate financial burdens on families seeking quality child care services, thereby promoting early childhood development and supporting working parents.
These proposed measures highlight a proactive approach to addressing the needs of families in Leelanau County, paving the way for a brighter future for children and parents alike.
