Access to Quality Child Care
Northern Michigan families – and those we hope to attract –
need access to quality child care to fully integrate into our work-
force. Unfortunately, there’s not enough of it in the region, and
it’s become another major hurdle that our region’s employers
experience in the daily struggle to attract and retain talent.
To address this, the Chamber will advocate for ways to make
opening and maintaining a child care facility more achievable,
including increasing technical assistance to new child care pro-
viders and creating an ombudsman role to assess compliance
and regulatory inconsistencies across the state.
The challenge now for our Chamber is how do we use growth in
historic industries like manufacturing, tourism and agriculture
to springboard and bolster emerging industries in the region like
health care, technology and environmental research.
It’s a full plate, to be sure. But building strong economies – like
large structures – requires solid pillars and there are no shortcuts
to creating a sound foundation on which to build generational
growth. If we get the basics right, and fill our rural economic tool
box, there’s no limit to the economic prosperity and quality of life
our region can achieve.

Cadillac Area Community Foundation Continues
Support with OASIS/Family Resource Center
Cadillac Area Community Foundation has been a long time supporter of the work and mission of OASIS/Family
Resource. OASIS is continuously growing and thriving in it’s work with survivors of domestic violence and sexual
assault. In 2017 we provided 3904 bed nights to survivors. In addition, our 24 crisis hotline received 627 calls. As
we continue to provide services we believe our shelter deserves to be maintained in order to provide safety, both
physically and emotionally. Cadillac Area Community Foundation continues to support such efforts. OASIS/
Family Resource Center was granted funds to build a new privacy fence, deck and ramp. This will decrease bar-
riers for survivors with disability, increase safety and privacy. All of which are necessary to provide safety and
allow the individual to begin their healing journey.
