Flint, MI – Over a decade after the Flint Water Crisis and in its eighth year of work, the Flint Registry offers a robust update to shared data on its website as an annual report. Additionally, in January 2025, the Flint Registry launched its latest full-length survey to continue the long-term collaboration with the Flint community.
“Flint is showing the world a model for community-driven public health. This work is shaping the landscape of future programs, resources, and opportunities to ensure a better future for Flint and beyond.”
– Dr. Nicole Jones, Co-Principal Investigator, Flint Registry
The Flint Registry continues to improve public health by amplifying members’ voices, collaborating with the greater community, and sharing what is collectively learned to make positive impacts near and far.
“The Flint Registry has made the community feel like they are seen and heard.”
– Celena F.
The latest update provides comparative data and responses from enrollment surveys, one-year follow-ups, and focused mini-surveys. In addition to surveys, the Flint Registry connects with members and residents through consistent outreach at community events, monthly website and social media updates, quarterly newsletters, and regular mailings to enrollees.
“Flint Registry is connecting and supporting those impacted by the Flint water crisis. Members are informing local and national resources and policies to forge a better path forward.”
– Felicia Eshragh, Director of Implementation, Flint Registry
As of July 2024, 21,982 people have enrolled in the Flint Registry, and 35,078 referrals to services were made.
Findings in our latest update include:
- Adults reported better overall health one year after enrolling, and families were less worried about running out of food than in the previous twelve months.
- Compared to other populations, Flint Registry participants have higher levels of adult chronic health diagnoses, adult mental health concerns, child mental health diagnoses, and child behavioral health issues.
- Community connection and resources are the top reasons members enroll in the Flint Registry

The Flint Registry is doing what it was designed to do: improve public health. From sharing stories with other communities, leading policy and regulatory changes, and inspiring new programs, the Flint Registry and its members are working together for a brighter future in Flint and beyond.
