In an effort to address community violence throughout the state and nationwide, University of Michigan researchers are partnering with community members and local organizations to implement and evaluate programs that aim to curb violence by cleaning up neighborhoods.
One of these partnerships is the Genesee County Land Bank’s Clean & Green program.
Through Clean & Green, the Flint-based land bank “supports innovative community groups and organizations in the cleaning, maintaining, and beautifying of otherwise vacant properties in Genesee County.”
