The founder of a Flint-based cash aid program for new parents says cuts made Dec. 10 to 2025 funding for Rx Kids are "devastating," and put "real families at risk."
Among the $645 million in cuts the House Appropriations Committee made to dozens of work projects requested by the State Budget Office was $18.5 million in unspent 2025 funding for Rx Kids, a prenatal and infant cash support program founded by Flint pediatrician Dr. Mona Hanna, who is the group's director.
