Cities of Service remains steadfast in our commitment to building stronger cities. We are making vulnerable populations a focus of our COVID-19 response because our coalition cities are making it a priority. Research continues to show that existing challenges and underlying disparities will be magnified by the coronavirus—from food insecurity to social isolation and housing instability.

As we move more deeply into the heart of the COVID-19 health crisis, how our cities fare in their ability to respond, engage community members, and solve problems will also set the stage for the future.
