About this grant
This grant to the Gloria Coles Flint Public Library will support the pilot of a resource navigation program. The Flint Digital Futures Initiative is a community-based model that connects Flint residents with individualized support, technology education, workforce pathways, and coordinated referrals to address barriers to employment and long-term stability. Building on the library’s trusted role as a hub for lifelong learning, digital access and community connection, the project will serve approximately 35–40 participants through personalized resource navigation plans and follow-up support. Resource navigation includes workforce development, credentialing, financial wellness, health care, housing, food security and other essential services. By embedding resource navigation at the Gloria Coles Flint Public Library, the project will help residents access pathways to stabilizing supports while strengthening the library’s role as a Flint community anchor.
