Analysis of Community Response to COVID-19
How Oakland’s non-profits provide front line assistance to vulnerable children, youth and families in times of crisis
Social Policy Research Associates (SPR) conducted interviews and engaged with over twenty-five community agencies during the first few weeks of the COVID-19 crisis and start of shelter-in-place for Oakland. These interviews, conversations and communications – conducted remotely – provide tremendous insight on how Oakland’s community-based programs and agencies pivoted and responded to address critical needs of vulnerable families at the outset of the pandemic.
