Everyone involved deserves our congratulations. Project Zero began with six pilot sites in July 1996 and is currently operational at 104 sites in all 83 Michigan counties. Targeted cases are those open 60 days, required to participate in the Work First program and expected to have earnings. Project Zero is a cooperative effort involving state and local agencies, businesses and service providers. State level partners include the FIA, the departments of Career Development, Transportation and Community Health and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority.
Local projects access state resources through formal agreements between state and local agencies.
