About this grant
This grant to the United Way of Genesee County will support the physical build-out of Good Laundry, a project on the north side of Flint that combats hygiene poverty by giving low-income residents access to laundry facilities. Studies show that one in five students go to school in the U.S. wearing dirty clothes. By providing families with access to laundry facilities, a chronic barrier to student success can be eliminated and chronic absenteeism could potentially be reduced.
