In March of 1979, the Marquette County Juvenile Court Foster Care Program was instituted by the Honorable Michael J. Anderegg in an effort to establish foster care as an alternative to the residential placement of delinquent youth. A full-time foster care coordinator was hired to license, train, and support foster parents. The Marquette County Foster Care Program provides out-of-home care for youth who have come under the jurisdiction of the court. The rationale of the program is that it is more humane and cost effective to place youth in community-based foster homes than in residential treatment.
