Our Story The mission is simple: help individuals, families, groups and organizations find meaningful solutions to the challenges that confront them in a world of uncertainty and change.ABOUT US:Many residents in Flint still have little or no information regarding the danger of drinking tap water, or how to access and utilize safe drinking water and other resources available to them. Many residents have fallen through the cracks - some are unable to leave their homes due to disability, some do not have plumbing systems that will accommodate the provided filters, many have limited English language proficiency or low literacy levels.Crossing Water is working with multiple community-based stakeholders, local, state, and federal agencies, state-wide nonprofit and advocacy groups, and volunteers from around the state to ensure that ALL residents have access to safe drinking water, information on how to access and utilize resources, and access to medical care. We have designed, developed, and implemented a new model for emergency response and crisis-intervention scenarios in large urban settings. We have created and are currently deploying Rapid Response Service Teams (RRST) to the hardest hit and most underserved neighborhoods and communities in Flint to ensure that the most vulnerable individuals and families get the critical assistance and relief they need within the shortest period of time possible. Our teams are interdisciplinary units comprised of social workers, EMTs, RNs, plumbers, and other technicians who can be activated onsite with a call from our Operations Center.Crossing Water and our legion of volunteers are working to ensure that ALL residents of Flint are supported during this crisis, and beyond. This is our fight, these are our neighbors, this is our Michigan.www.crossingwater.org
