Pursuant to the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Please send data reporting numbers of deaths from COVID-19 and/or complications associated with COVID-19, between Jan. 1, 2020 and March 31, 2021, of residents of facilities which are licensed by Michigan Bureau of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) to care for 12 residents or fewer.
This includes deaths among residents of Adult Family Homes with capacity of 1-6, Adult Medium Group Home with capacity 7-12, Adult Small Group Home with capacity of 1-6, and other Adult Foster Care home licensed to care for 12 residents or fewer.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

From: District #10 Health Department
Mr. Payne -
We received your two separate FOIA requests for identical records of reported numbers of deaths from COVID-19 of residents of facilities licensed by the Michigan Bureau of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs from January 2020 through March 2021.
District Health Department #10 does not have the records requested. We are required to provide you a Notice of Denial for each request. The notices are attached with copies of your original requests.
The steps to follow if you wish to appeal the denials are explained on the second page of the forms, and in the attached Public Summary.
We believe the records/information you seek may be available from the State of Michigan, at this link:
