The document summarizes the key findings and recommendations of the Ferguson Commission report. The Commission was appointed by the Governor to study underlying issues in Ferguson and the St. Louis region. It identified 4 signature priorities: Justice for All, Youth at the Center, Opportunity to Thrive, and Racial Equity. For each priority, the report outlines several calls to action, such as police training reform, expanding Medicaid, and applying a racial equity framework. However, the Commission has no power to enact changes and serves as a springboard for further discussion.
3.3 Emergency Housing Solutions for Runaway and Homeless Youth
Speaker: Debbie Powell
When young people run away from home or are thrown out, they need a safe place to stay in order to work on reunifying with family or finding housing. Youth shelters, often called basic centers, are those safe places. Basic centers play a key role in keeping youth away from dangers they would face on the streets or in the home of a stranger and help to facilitate a return to family or other permanent housing placement. This workshop will focus on best practice.
I shall pass this way but once; any good that I can do or any kindness I can show to any human being; let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

LICCs are local planning and advisory bodies for the local Early On system, established through the 56 ISDs in Michigan. LICCs mirror the mandated MICC in concept and allow for involvement of parents, agencies, organizations, and individuals necessary to develop and maintain a coordinated early intervention service system. The role of an LICC is to advise and assist the intermediate school district in matters related to Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Early Intervention Program for Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities: Final Regulations. In Michigan we call this program Early On. LICC activities include: fostering interagency collaboration and information sharing, disseminating public awareness and other materials that help caregivers identify potential developmental delays and disabilities, promoting parent and family involvement in all community activities, and encouraging community efforts supporting inclusion of children with special needs and their families.
