Flint Registry Set to Continue through 2021 with $4.5 Million

The $1.4 trillion federal COVID-19 spending bill includes funding to continue the Flint Registry. The registry has over 10,500 families signed up to receive advice and referrals for services that combat the effects of lead poisoning suffered during the Flint water crisis. The program has completed 13,500 referrals for health care, nutrition, early education, lead elimination programs and more. “The Flint Registry has improved the lives of thousands of individuals, and we look forward to helping thousands more and sharing our lessons with similarly-impacted communities,” said Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha.
