CURRENT CONSORTIUM INITIATIVES
COVID-19 VACCINE
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention COVID - 19 Updates and Notices
12/14/20- Dr. Rathore of UF Health explains COVID 19 vaccine treatment and procedures.
The COVID-19 Vaccine Workgroup is focused on educating the community on the value of participating in COVID-19 vaccine trials and receiving the vaccine once available by first understanding perceptions and apprehensions through community conversations.
The goal will be achieved through an initial set of objectives as follows:
- Develop questions to elicit feedback from individuals to inform the development of a socially responsible messaging campaign.
- Conduct interviews with community members with an initial focus on communities of color including: consumers, caregivers, students, physicians, teachers, seniors, local officials, and religious & community leaders.
- Design outreach campaign based on outcomes of community conversations and align with national messaging to dispel misinformation.
EVICTIONS/HOUSING INSECURITY
The Evictions/Housing Insecurity Workgroup focuses on the impact of coronavirus on society and the economy, and the accompanying effects on children and families, cannot be overstated. In general, recessions have a massive negative impact on families, particularly as it relates to employment and housing. Children’s vulnerability to fluctuations in economic cycles depends on the strength of the social safety net programs, as well as how such programs are supported over time. Here are just a few of the issues that the Covid-19, and housing insecurity in general, has on families:
- As many as 56,000 (40%) rental households in Duval County are at risk of eviction.
- As many as 26,000 evictions may be filed in Duval County when the CDC moratorium is lifted on January 1, 2021.
- In the past two months, there have been approximately 1,600 residential evictions filed in Duval County.
- 66% of rental households with children in Florida have little to moderate confidence in their ability to rent next month.
- As much as 34% of total households, or more than 100,000 households, in Duval County are currently having difficulty covering usual household expenses.
