Flint Registry Announces Continued Funding
After months of federal funding uncertainty, the Flint Registry has received notice of renewed funding beginning August 1, enabling continued long-term efforts to support those impacted by the Flint Water Crisis.
Congressionally-allocated and Health and Human Services (HHS)-supported, the Flint Registry is grant-funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to Michigan State University College of Human Medicine Charles Stewart Mott Department of Public Health. This grant renewal is a win for public health in Flint and nationwide.
New Monthly Communication
We will share monthly communications on data and findings thanks to the involvement and connection of Flint Registry members.
Our first monthly email will look at data related to lead exposure referrals and programs.
Stay tuned!

Did You or Your Child Recently Turn 18?
When you turn 18 years old, you are considered an adult and must complete health surveys for yourself with your contact information. As a child, a parent or guardian enrolled you in the Flint Registry and completed surveys on your behalf.
If you have turned 18 since originally enrolling, we kindly ask that you update your contact information to be able to complete future surveys. It is necessary for new adults to update their contact information and confirm their desire to continue to participate as an adult member of the Flint Registry.
As a thank you for updating your contact information as a new adult, you’ll receive a $20 electronic gift card upon verification.
Update contact information by visiting the following link below.
If you have any questions or need support completing the survey, please reach out to us at 833-GO-FLINT (833-463-5468).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the benefit of the Flint Registry for the Flint community?
The benefit of the Flint Registry for the community is that we will use the data we collect to see how the City of Flint is doing as a whole. We can also use the data to advocate for more services and resources that are needed. This impact extends beyond our own community. From Newark, New Jersey to Benton Harbor, Michigan, the Flint Registry and Dr. Mona Hanna continue to support and inform communities across the country facing similar issues.
