Monday, May 1: Past-due water bill assistance signup at city hall

Genesee County Community Action Resource Department (GCCARD) will be onsite at Flint City Hall Monday, May 1, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to connect residents to assistance with past-due water bills.

Flint residents can meet with representatives from GCCARD to review their past-due accounts. Qualified water customers can receive a one-time payment of up to $1,500 to assist with their overdue water bill.

Flint residents will meet with GCCARD caseworkers on a first-come, first-served basis Monday. Appointments are not needed. However, residents must bring the following required documents:
            – Active past-due water bill

            – Valid State ID/driver’s license for all adults in the household (IDs must match water bill)
            – Social Security cards for all members of the household

            – Health insurance card(s)

            – Proof of household income for the past 30 days

            – DHS food benefit letter (if applicable)

            – Rental lease or agreement if water bill is in landlord’s name

“I want to thank GCCARD for its continued work to help meet the needs of our community,” Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley said. “We want to do everything we can to help residents access assistance with their water bills, and we encourage residents to come out and take advantage of this opportunity.”
