Genesee County Home Help Program — Michigan Families Can Get Paid to Provide Care
If you're in Genesee County — Flint, Burton, Grand Blanc, Davison, Flushing, Fenton, or anywhere in the Flint area — the Michigan Home Help Program is available to you. Genesee County has a population of over 400,000 and one of the highest Medicaid enrollment rates in the state. Many families here are already receiving this benefit — many more don't know it exists.
