“Our families should not have to wait for support.
That is why I made it a priority to launch Rx Kids within the first 100 days of this administration. This program provides a $1,500 cash prescription during pregnancy, followed by $500 per month during a baby's first six months of life, giving families real help when it matters most.
This is about meeting families where they are and making sure every child has a strong start.” -Mayor Mary Sheffield #DreamBigRiseHigher
Freezing temperatures can lead to water main breaks and frozen pipes. If pipes inside your home freeze or burst, call DWSD at 313-267-8000 to request a temporary water shutoff, then contact a licensed plumber.
To help prevent frozen pipes: • Keep your thermostat at 55° or higher • Insulate meter areas • Allow faucets along exterior walls to drip during extreme cold
