Scientists are exploring new ways to improve protection against flu as the virus changes over time.

mRNA technology can help scientists update vaccines to better match changing viruses. And while mRNA flu vaccines may be new, the technology behind them isn’t—it has decades of research and years of real-world safety monitoring behind it.

Many kids and teens spend a lot of time online, so it’s important to talk about how social media affects their mental health. Set boundaries around social media use at home and watch for changes in mood, sleep, appetite, or focus.

If your child is struggling, support is available in Michigan. Learn about mental health services for youth from MDHHS: https://bit.ly/4mhqb3T

A huge THANK YOU to United Way for everything you are doing, and have done, to support the residents of Tyden Lofts. 💙

As we’ve said before, a response of this magnitude truly takes a village. We are grateful for the many community partners who have stepped up to help make sure our neighbors have the support and resources they need to stay safe and cared for during this difficult time.

If you have food, supplies or other donations you would like to offer to Tyden Lofts residents, please connect with United Way first so they can help coordinate donations and make sure resources get to residents who need them.

Thank you to everyone who continues to show up for our community. This is what taking care of our neighbors looks like.

It’s not too late to get up to date on routine vaccines.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a vaccination schedule that gives babies, toddlers, and older kids the best protection at the right time. All vaccines, especially those given to children, go through many rounds of testing to make sure they’re safe.

Keep the AAP’s schedule handy to discuss at your child’s next appointment: bit.ly/aap-schedule

It truly takes a village to support one another when our community faces an unexpected emergency. 💙 We are incredibly grateful to the Barry County Commission on Aging for providing such a valuable resource when our community needed it most.

We also know many people want to help the Tyden Lofts residents who are still displaced. If you would like to donate food, clothing, toiletries or other items, please contact United Way/211 first so they can help coordinate donations and make sure resources get to residents who need them.

Thank you to everyone who has stepped up to support their neighbors during this difficult time. Your generosity and compassion are making a difference.

We understand the frustration and concern for the Tyden Lofts residents who are still unable to return home. Being displaced for this length of time is incredibly difficult, and we know residents are facing very real challenges with housing, food, transportation, and other basic needs.

BEDHD continues to work directly with United Way, 211, Barry County, and other community partners to help connect affected residents with available resources. We recognize that resources are limited, and we are continuing to communicate with partners as additional options become available.

We are also continuing to communicate directly with Tyden Lofts residents. BEDHD sends a daily resident update through property management and has made phone calls directly to all residents. To make sure you receive these updates and other important information, please make sure property management has your current phone number and email address on file.

For privacy reasons, we cannot discuss individual residents or their specific circumstances publicly. We also want to make sure residents receive information that is accurate and specific to their situation, rather than directing them to resources that may not currently have capacity.

If you are a Tyden Lofts resident who is still displaced and need assistance, please contact the Tyden resident hotline at 269-798-4111 or email [email protected] so we can help connect you with the appropriate resources. This resource is for Tyden Lofts residents only.

If you are a community organization, landlord, hotel, business or individual with a specific resource you can offer, please contact the United Way at 269-945-4010 so they can help coordinate available assistance.

We appreciate the community members who are advocating for their neighbors and looking for ways to help. 💙

EDIT: A note about receipts and renters insurance: We are aware of questions circulating about receipts for expenses incurred while residents are displaced. Residents who have renters insurance should keep receipts for eligible expenses and contact their insurance provider to ask about reimbursement under their policy. BEDHD is not reimbursing residents for these expenses. Keeping receipts does not guarantee reimbursement, as coverage and eligibility are determined by each insurance policy.
