"As shelter-in-place orders went into effect across the country in response to COVID-19, school districts scrambled to implement distance learning, businesses closed their doors, and the inequities in critical community infrastructure became even more apparent. Low-income people of color are far more likely than affluent White people to live in neighborhoods that lack the most basic characteristics of safe, healthy places, such as safe drinking water, clean air quality schools, grocery stores, parks, libraries, and services.
