Flint, MI — The Mott Foundation published its second report after five years of informing residents about its Focus on Flint initiative.
This second edition of Focus on Flint includes what has happened since then, including grants the foundation awarded based on what residents said was important to them. The publication also includes a list of community resources available throughout the city.
Focus on Flint is designed to provide credible data and helpful information for residents and other community members.
Copies of the publication are available at various locations throughout the city, including the Flint Farmers’ Market, Berston Field House, Hasselbring Senior Center, and the Mott Foundation Building.
A digital version of the publication and a complete list of pickup locations can be found here.
“We’re pleased to publish another edition of Focus on Flint, and we’re eager to continue to have conversations with residents about their priorities for Flint,” said Ridgway White, president and CEO of the Mott Foundation.
The Mott Foundation launched the Focus on Flint initiative in 2019. After commissioning a survey of 900 residents and gathering community data, the foundation published the first edition to provide a realistic picture of Flint’s challenges and opportunities and to highlight how residents felt about life in the city.
Mott Foundation staff has hosted over 30 community conversations to learn more about the community’s priorities and top concerns. Several community conversations will be scheduled over the next few months.
