Building Stronger Communities, One Project at a Time.

Thanks to one of Genesee County Habitat's newest programs, FlintBRAND, resident leaders and community groups across the City of Flint are taking the lead in creating better communities for themselves, their children, and their neighbors. From growing gardens to serve as community food hubs to restoring neighborhood parks to provide safe opportunities for active recreation, 

and from floral gardens planted to honor the memory and legacy of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to the demolition of blighted commercial structures within busy neighborhood corridors, Habitat is partnering with community members all over Flint to wrestle beauty from blight and build strong and stable communities by investing in catalytic, resident led neighborhood projects. ​

The program, which provides staff support for project planning and implementation, as well as funding to help get the project started, is funded thanks to generous support from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. As part of the program, groups commit 10% of their project's cost in sweat equity, and while working with Habitat groups receive access to training in action planning, impact evaluation, and best practices in community revitalization from certified Habitat staff.
