About us

We believe there is a better way to support children and families in West Michigan! West Michigan Partnership for Children (WMPC) is a new organization created to pilot the first performance-based foster care service delivery model in Michigan with the goal of improving outcomes for children. The 2017 launch of WMPC is the result of a long-term collaboration between dedicated professionals, Kent County community leaders and partners, Michigan Child Welfare Partnership Council, and legislators. As the only private entity in Michigan to oversee a network of foster care and service providers, WMPC, in partnership with Bethany Christian Services, Catholic Charities West Michigan, D.A. Blodgett—St. John’s, Samaritas, and Wellspring Lutheran Services, through a contract with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, will work seamlessly with the public sector to improve outcomes for abused and neglected children. WMPC and its partners value keeping families together. We aim to safely and quickly reunify more children with their families and more quickly by working alongside them families to help them address the situations that led to their child’s removal. WMPC prioritizes keeping children with their families and relatives and seeks adoptive homes only when returning a child to their family is not possible. Foster parents are important partners in this process.
