Taylor Hartman, executive director of the Mental Health Board, presented the boards 2025 annual report to the Livingston County Board and outlined how county 708 and 377 levy funds were spent last year. ‘‘IHR receives the bulk of our 708 funds at $585,000 and that serves thousands of youth and community members each year,’’ Hartman said, summarizing the largest single allocation.
Hartman described several program spotlights. The AIR adaptive and inclusive recreation program received $19,500 from the 377 levy and runs weekly activities and Special Olympics participation, she said. Safe Journeys, supported by $39,000 in 708 funds, provided crisis services, safe housing, counseling and case management to 84 county residents, Hartman reported. Mosaic, a faith-based program, supported 46 community members with intellectual disabilities; most live in community-integrated living arrangements. Futures Unlimited received both 377 and 708 funds totaling about $490,000 and assisted roughly 135 people. Hartman said Operation Snowball received just over $6,600 from 708 funds and served nearly 100 youth at two main events.
On early-childhood screening, Hartman said the ITAP program received more than $16,000 from 377 funds, screened 17 children and provided case management for 29, and she noted a recent decline in screening numbers for reasons that remain unclear. She also directed board members and the public to crisis resources (211 and 988) and to a virtual resource guide available via QR code included in the packet.
After questions, the board moved to accept the report. Board member Jack moved to accept the Mental Health Boards 2025 annual report; Craig seconded the motion and the board approved the report by voice vote.
Why it matters: The levy-funded programs Hartman described provide behavioral-health and crisis supports across Livingston County, from prevention and youth programming to direct services such as housing and counseling. The allocations cited in the report (for example, IHRs $585,000 and Futures roughly $490,000) illustrate how county levies translate into service capacity for residents.
The board did not set additional appropriations at the meeting; acceptance of the annual report documents how levy funds were used and informs the boards oversight of those programs going forward.
