Researchers at the Center for Equitable Family & Community Well-Being surveyed more than 600 low-income residents across Ypsilanti about the impact of COVID-19. Their work is giving voice to the needs of those disproportionately impacted by the pandemic, ensuring that local health and economic responses attend to issues of equity.
The Ypsilanti COVID-19 Study is a collaboration between Eastern Michigan University’s Family Empowerment Program, the Washtenaw County Racial Equity Office, and the Center for Equitable Family & Community Well-Being within the U-M School of Social Work.
