INTRODUCTION

Michigan, the second largest user of seasonal farm labor in the country, annually

employs tens of thousands of 't-of-state migrant farmworkers in the harvesting of

labor-intensive crops, particularly vegetables and fruits. Although the number of

migratory workers who move into the State each year cannot be stated with certainty,

the influx is certainly one of the largest migrant streams into any state.

The contribution of migrant farmworkers to Michigan's economy is substantial.

Agriculture is of such magnitude that much of the State's growth and vitality can be

attributed directly to it. Yet, despite all of this prosperity and perhaps partially

because of it, migrants continue to live a precarious and vulnerable existence It

still remains an article of belief, virtually beyond examination, that migrants should

work for wages and under conditions far behind any competitive standard with other

industries.

In its 1968 Report and Recommendations on the Status of Migratory Farm Labor in

Michigan, the Michigan Civil Rights Commission summarized the situation:

Unprotected by law should they join together to bargain for wages andworking conditions; denied local voting rights because they lack residencein the communities in which they work; and condemned from the start topoverty; migrant workers are simply powerless to change their own conditions.

Peonage or indentured servitude has usually involved the indebtedness of theworker to his master so that the worker was bound to pay off his indebtednessbefore exercising his freedom of mobility and occupational choice withoutcost. The "bonus" system reverses this and binds the migrant to the growerbecause the grower withholds earnings from the worker and says, in effect,"you can't leave before your departure is agreeable to me without forfeitingpart of your wages." Fringe benefits, which improve the quality of life andare enjoyed by most Michigan workers are virtually unknown to migrants. Thewages and working conditions alone are enough to subject the worker to con-tinued exploitation without recourse.

Unfortunately, here as elsewhere, things have not changed significantly for the

migrants. Poverty, labor abuses, functional illiteracy and countless other conditions

continue to exist.

The purpose of this book is to consolidate under one cover a listing of all

services and resources available to migrant farmworkers during their stay in Michigan.

The staff of the National Migrant Information Clearinghouse have endeavored to make

this directory as complete and as accurate as possible. However, some of the listings

of organizations, programs or agencies may contain some obsolete information after

the printing date. Although many programs have the stability of long term and esta-

blished services, others are often short lived or constantly subject to change as new

needs, priorities and objectives appear or as operating funds expire.

The information for this directory was obtained entirely from Federal, state

and local agencies in Michigan prior to September 1, 1973. Only programs actually in

existence at that time have been included, but due to the lag time between gathering

information and then publishing it, an effort was made to keep astride all farm labor

developments in Michigan during this time. Special emphasis was placed in obtaining

only information and data current as of summer 1973. There are several reasons why

this was not always possible. Many organizations, particularly state agencies, do

not normally summarize their service activities until the end of each calendar year.

Still others provided less than full cooperation to Clearinghouse staff, or did not

cooperate at all. As a result, some of the information had to be obtained from second-

ary sources.

"Migrant Programs in Michigan" is therefore only as accurate as the information

which was provided by the sources contacted. A sincere effort has been made to

authenticate as much of the information that appears in this book as possible. How-

ever, the limited time and resources available for this project virtually rendered

impossible the verification of every item of information.

Migrant Population Served: 19,580 migrant application cases were accepted in1972

1,561 at block funded infant day care centers in1972

By matching state and federal funds under the provisions of Title IV-A of theSocial Security Act, 25 block funded infant day care centers operated in 1973to provide services for migrant infants from 0 to 2 1/2 years of age in 18Michigan counties. The Department purchased such services by sub-contractingto existing local day care organizations or educational institutions.

The services provided at the block funded infant day care centers were gener-ally the same:

*Transportation*Medical and Health Care*Nutrition*Supervised Care and Recreation*Early childhood activities that promote learning, physical development andthe development of language skills

In areas where day care centers for those migrant children under 2 1/2 yearsof age are not in operation, a seasonal staff worker with the Department willarrange for a child to be provided with day care services in the child's ownhome, a licensed home or a center other than one of the block funded centers.This is usually done in consultation with the child's parents. In thosecases where care is provided in the child's own home, the seasonal staffassists the client in choosing the correct day care aide for his child. Inmany cases, this will be either an older brother or sister. The worker willthen take the necessary steps to certify the aide so that payment may be made.

In 1972, day care for migrant children, other than in block funded centers,was provided in 1,264 cases. Of these, 1, 184 cases were in the child's ownhome, 47 were in licensed homes and 33 were in licensed centers other thanthose block funded by the Department.

Although there were no block funded centers in Ingham County for 1973, pro-visions were made to provide day care for the migrant infants in this county.In 1972, there were 85 cases where day care was provided in the child's ownhome.

44

Besides the block funded day care centers, migrant families in Michiganreceive other forms of assistance from the Department of Social Servicesthrough its county offices.

Emergency Assistance:

Emergency assistance is provided when the emergency situation was created byunforeseen circumstances or when it constitutes a threat to the health orsafety of a migrant family. Such situations are usually created by catastro-phic events such as fire, flood, tornado, accident, death, etc. or by a familyhaving to use up its available resources to meet other emergency needs.

The eligibility requirements are such that a family must be in the state atthe time assistance is requested, they must not be residents of Michigan andat least one dependent under 21 years of age must be living with the family.This short term assistance is limited to 30 consecutive days per twelve monthperiod.

Among the emergency needs covered are shelter, utilities, clothing, householditems, inpatient hospitalization and emergency transportation. In cooperationwith UMOI, interstate transportation is also provided.

General Assistance:

General assistance is financed by the individual counties and is used to helpmigrants only as a last resort. With some variation in the policies of thecounties, the emergency needs met by GA are shelter, clothing, auto repair,prescriptions, medical care and cash assistance.

Social Services:

Social services to migrant families consist mainly of referrals, local trans-portation, assistance with formal procedures and foster care services.

Food Stamps:

Eligibility requirements for the food stamp program are based on income,household status, work registration and number of dependents. Establishedresidence is not a requirement.

APPENDIX

MICHIGAN INTERAGENCY COMMITTEE ON MIGRANT AFFAIRS

The Committee is made up of representatives of the State Departments and private

agencies which provide services to migrant farmworkers in Michigan. During the months

from October tnrough March, the committee members are usually grouped into sub-

committees in such areas as employment, health, housing, social services, settling-out,

etc. By meeting at regular sessions, the subcommittees are able to collectively plan

and coordinate the state's efforts in meeting the special needs of migrant farmworkers

for the following year.

The core of the Michigan Interagency Committee on Migrant Affairs is the Task

Force appointed by executive order of the Governor. The Task Force is most active

during the months from April through September. During this time, the Task Force must

deal with any immediate problems relevant to its assigned duties and must make the

appropriate decisions. For example, if an acute housing problem exists within the

state, it is the responsibility of the Task Force to assess the magnitude of the prob-

lem, and after careful consideration, to issue any recommendations it may deem necessary

for immediate improvement.

Among the membership of both the Task Force and the Interagency Committee, the

following agencies are represented:

1. UMOI

2. Michigan Department of Social Services

3. Michigan Department of Public Health

4. Michigan Department of Education

S. Michigan Employment Security Commission

6. Michigan Department of Labor

7. Michigan Economic Opportunity Office

METHODOLOGY

The information which appears on this report was compiled, analyzed and processedaccording to a standard research design which was developed by Clearinghouse staffmembers. This included preliminary research from central information sources, on-site visits, identification of data base and final documentation of information.

PRELIMINARY RESEARCH. Preliminary information on Michigan was obtained by firstutilizing the library resources of the National Migrant Information Clearinghouse.Numerous mailing lists, annual reports and funding proposals were consulted. Afterthe identification of major migrant programs, a verification process was implementedin which these programs were contacted by phone in order to verify any items ofinformation that may have been in doubt. The telephone contacts were also very use-ful in that we were often referred to other agencies or projects of which we had noprior knowledge. This particular process allowed us to make initial contact withmany cent:al sources of information for follow-up at a later date.

ON-SITE VISITS. On-site visits were made to numerous agencies in an effort to obtaindetailed first hand information on the nature and types of services available tomigrant farmworkers throughout Michigan. The most current farm labor statistics anddata on wages, migrant population, crops, legislation, etc. were also sought. Suchvisits were limited by time, and generally speaking, were made only to those Federal,State and local agencies within Michigan which were considered central or headquartersoffices for other projects or programs. Since UMOI is the only Title III-B granteein Michigan, and since it is perhaps the largest recipient of Federal funds formigrant programs, special emphasis was placed in obtaining information from thisagency.

IDENTIFICATION OF DATA BASE. After all preliminary information had been accumulatedand verified, and after all on-site visits had been conducted, counties to be in-cluded in the book were established according to the following criteria:

1. Existence of a migrant program, or2. Inclusion in the service area of a migrant program, or3. Significant (over 100) migrant population during any season.

For purposes of determining what constitutes a "migrant program", considerable dis-cussion on the subject was necessary among staff members. This resulted in thefollowing classifications of assistance programs which appear in the book:

1. "Migrant Programs in County" include any project whose service componentsare geared solely towards the needs of migrant or seasonal farmworkers.

2. "Other Programs that Provide Services to Migrants' covers agencies which haveat least one service component for migrants as part of a much larger program.This generally includes statewide agencies such as the Rural Manpower Serviceand the Michigan Department of Social Services.

3. "Agencies Which May Assist Migrants" are service agencies, projects or organ-izations whose target populations are the poor, the disadvantaged, and theminorities. Such agencies generally have no special provisions for providingservices to migrant families, but often render services if the eligibilityrequirements are met.

The purpose for resorting to the above classifications of programs was not to subject-ively brand programs according to what they do or do not do, but rather to provide thebasis for an orderly presentation of the information to the reader and to avoid a con-fused random arrangement of the material.
