Flint Lead Free

One of the goals of the Flint Registry is to screen enrollees for ongoing environmental lead exposure and connect them to resources to limit potential exposure. A workgroup of the Flint Registry, Flint Lead Free, seeks to identify lead-related programming and training, determine target audiences for training, and create a lead elimination report.

Flint Lead Free now includes over 30 members from a variety of public, governmental, and private organizations. Flint Lead Free works to facilitate measurable change in our community that will result in reduced lead exposure for our residents – and ultimately become the first city in the nation to eliminate childhood lead exposure.

Mission

To eliminate lead exposure in Flint, MI.

Vision

Through tracking and reporting on elevated blood lead level cases, assessments, and interventions, and by providing a clearinghouse of lead-related programming and education/training, Flint, MI will be a model lead-free city through the collaboration of community, agencies, and nonprofit groups.
