Our society's response to the Covid-19 crisis has systematically left marginalized peoples out of their calculations, and they are dying because of it. We must have a wide-scale public health intervention to save the people that our leaders knew would not be helped by their current interventions, and unless we are willing to let inequality cause so many deaths, we must have it now.

Our purpose is simple. We must provide high risk individuals living in areas of high residential density and poverty, who do not have access to sufficient means or resources to protect themselves from infection access to safety. The quickest and most effective way to do that would be for those of us who have fled the city to open our homes to those individuals and families' in greatest need right now. We know what will happen if we wait for the government to save those who are drowning. We must take action now.

Because economic hardship is at an all time high and keeping families and communities together is so essential, we will also be hiring members of the evacuated household or community to stay with them and function as caregivers and protectors during this time. These caregivers will have the option to receive education/training to continue on with our organization working as public health educators in their own communities after the pandemic has passed. 

We will use our expertise and learning from initial run of our project to create infrastructure, a training program, and guidelines for best practices so that other nonprofits may reproduce our intervention as quickly and effectively as possible.
