Flint BRAND stands for Building Resident Action by Neighborhood Design. Through the program grassroots organizations such as neighborhood associations, block-clubs, and crime watches are eligible to apply for up to $10,000 in support to help implement projects that create a visible, positive, and lasting change in the physical landscape of their community. As part of the Flint BRAND, Genesee County Habitat for Humanity staff will work hand-in-hand with community groups throughout the design, application, and implementation phases of a group's project to ensure that each project is a success. Habitat staff will also work with applicants to help leverage additional resources to support the successful implementation and long-term sustainability of each project.
Your group is in it for the long-haul, and so are we! |
