Civic life reporter at Outlier Media. I write about how Detroiters are engaging with government t and civic institutions - and whether they’re getting what they need. Read my reporting: https://outliermedia.org/author/briana-rice/
As of Jan. 21, just 1,827 households had signed up for the 5,000 slots available in Lifeline H2O. That’s left many Detroiters with bills they are unable to afford, racking up debt that is locking them out of the very program intended to help them. @outliermedia.org outliermedia.org/lifeline-h2o...

This line about reductions in Detroit's water affordability plan really hit home:
“My health insurance premiums are doubling, and all the copays are quadrupling, and nothing goes down.”

DWSD’s new water payment plan is smaller and more expensive
DWSD opened applications for its new water payment assistance program, but it’s more exclusive and expensive.

This time last year almost 30,000 Detroiters were enrolled in the city's water bill assistance program. It ran out of money so the city has a new program that will help 5,000 households. Here's what you need to know. @outliermedia.org outliermedia.org/dwsd-lifelin...
