Background
Undoubtedly, the outbreak of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused outsize harm to all people, both in terms of physical health and has contributed to the collapse of our economy. But population groups such as the poor, older people, people with disabilities, people experiencing homelessness, and other vulnerable groups have been disproportionately harmed by the COVID-19 pandemic. These populations already suffered from lack of access to health resources and basic infrastructure such as housing. Cruelly, they have been disproportionately harmed as the disease spreads and at a disadvantage to recover once the pandemic is over. In fact, we have already seen an analogous situation in areas subjected to natural disaster such as Puerto Rico.
The Coalition on Human Needs believes these vulnerable populations deserve a voice and special consideration in policy debates pertaining to the public health response to the crisis. To that end, we have compiled the following list of resources advocates and organizations can use when informing the public or contacting lawmakers about COVID-19.
