In early 2021, a $641 million settlement between the residents and businesses of Flint and various government defendants received Preliminary Approval by the Court. Nearly 90,000 Flint residents were impacted by the Flint water crisis, and the settlement will create a compensation fund to help those affected, predominantly children. Huntington Bank, selected by Special Master Deborah Greenspan, is working with Counsel, the Claims Administrator, and the Court in support of the settlement fund for the victims. As a leader in the community, Huntington volunteered to serve as escrow agent and distribution bank on a pro bono basis. Huntington has also committed to partner with local leaders and community organizations to identify financial and socioeconomic barriers faced in the region.
