- Utility assistance program
- Flint's Water Residential Assistance Program (WRAP) can provide up to $1,000 over 12 months for eligible low-income homeowners. The program requires an active account, the bill in the applicant's name, household income at or below 150% of the federal poverty level, and an appointment; the program also includes conservation/self-sufficiency support. Applications and questions use 313-386-WRAP (9727). Catholic Charities (810-232-9950) and MDHHS (810-760-7300) are listed as additional assistance contacts.
- State and federal aid connection
- The City directs residents to WRAP, Catholic Charities, and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. WRAP is a local two-year assistance pathway administered with partner organizations and can apply up to $1,000 over a 12-month period for qualifying homeowners; the reviewed pages do not state that the City itself processes LIHWAP applications or provide a separate federal intake URL.
