A new season is here. Fall reminds us that change is part of life, and sometimes, navigating change takes a little support.

Whether someone is building a new life in a new community, finding stability for their family, searching for a safe place to call home, or entering a new chapter later in life, Samaritas is there through seasons of transition.

As the leaves begin to change, we’re celebrating new beginnings, stronger communities, and the people who help one another move forward.

Happy first day of fall from Samaritas! 🍁

Working hard. Raising families. Doing both. We see you! At Samaritas, we know that balance isn't easy, and we're proud to support the families in our care who carry both roles with strength every day.

New federal Medicaid requirements could create hardships for some families in Michigan's foster care system, according to the state's largest private foster care and adoption agencies.

Samaritas serves almost 40,000 people each year through programs including foster care, adoption, mental health and housing.

Dave Morin, president and CEO of Samaritas, said Medicaid coverage helps meet the complex needs of many children in the system.

"Whether it's a physical need, a developmental need, or a behavioral need, Medicaid helps support these children and is very much foundational to what they need to continue to thrive and move forward in life," Morin explained.

Children in Michigan's foster care are exempt from the new federal work requirements. However, Morin pointed out changes affecting coverage for some adults could create additional challenges for families. Read more. https://bit.ly/45MIvdW

Housing isn't just where life happens. It's what makes so much of life possible. Samaritas is honored to join MSHDA and housing leaders from across Michigan to talk about why stable housing is foundational to health, education, employment, and stronger communities.

At Samaritas, the connection is clear every day: safe, stable housing is what lets families stabilize, children thrive, and communities grow. This is a solvable problem, but it takes partnership. Leaders who want to help close Michigan's housing gap for our most vulnerable residents are invited to reach out to MSHDA or Samaritas and get involved. https://www.facebook.com/reel/935147008958339
