• Description:
  Public health crises, such as COVID-19, worsen existing health disparities. Community health workers (CHWs) are frontline public health workers who are trusted members of the community they serve. CHWs are well-positioned to reach communities hit hardest by COVID-19, stop the spread of COVID-19, and make progress toward health equity.
  
  Launched in August 2021, CDC’s Community Health Workers for COVID Response and Resilient Communities initiative provides financial support and technical assistance to 69 states, localities, territories, tribes, tribal organizations, urban Indian health organizations, and health service providers to tribes. The CCR initiative consists of two funding opportunities intended to put more trained CHWs in the communities that have been hit hardest by COVID-19 and among populations at high risk for COVID-19 exposure, infection, and illness.
