The coronavirus pandemic has elevated and exacerbated deep-seated inequities in communities across the United States. Localities large and small, urban and rural, well resourced and under resourced, are responding to distinct challenges.
The Sentinel Communities project will follow the experiences of nine diverse communities to understand how they are responding to and recovering from this crisis.
From the county housing the nation’s fourth-largest city to a rural Great Plains community with a large immigrant population, we’re seeking to understand how a community’s past may affect its present. Some communities are facing the pandemic with a grounding in health and well-being; cross-sector collaborations; and an emphasis on equity, while others are navigating economic and social challenges with less support.
