The COVID pandemic has hit Washtenaw County hard. The resources and organizations listed below are built to help our community.
Vaccine Availability is Changing Almost Daily
The vaccine supply is steadily increasing. This means the County and medical providers can offer more and more appointments over time. Check back often to find where pop-up clinics are located, and when your age and medical / employment situation will allow you to sign up for your vaccination.
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
This Act was passed by Democrats with no Republican support. Some resources provided by this act, like the relief checks that can total up to $5,600 for a family of four, are quite clear. Details for distribution of other benefits, like the rental and mortgage assistance, are still being defined. We will update this page as we know more information.

Who Can Sign Up For Vaccination?
Michigan has expanded vaccine eligibility to all Michiganders 12 and up. Eligible residents are strongly encouraged to register with their local health departments, community health centers, and other vaccination sites to get one of the lifesaving vaccines.

Please Note:
Vaccine supply will determine how many appointments are available at any time.
When you sign up, appointments may not be available right away.
You may actually get your appointment via a phone call / email / text message after you sign up.
Sign up as soon as you are eligible.

Please Note
The number of appointments at any place is dependent on the vaccine supply, which is increasing but still limited. If you call one week there may not be appointments available, but if you call the next week there might be. Please be both understanding with the people on the phone with you and persistent in calling.

Cash Relief
All eligible Americans who haven’t received their direct deposit will receive either a check or a debit card in the next few weeks. This time it’s $1,400 per person AND per child or adult dependent, so a family of 4 will be seeing up to $5,600 to help cover those bills that have piled up.
If you have not gotten previous relief: be sure that your tax return is up to date, and that the Social Security numbers of your dependents are listed. If it doesn’t arrive, you can call your Congressional Representative for help.
