Connecticut's Excluded Communities: Key Findings from a COVID-19 Community Impact Survey

Make the Road Connecticut (MRCT) launched an impact survey to more fully understand key issues facing people of color and immigrants related to employment, housing, health, and economic security during the pandemic. The survey findings reveal widespread financial instability and hardship among Connecticut’s most vulnerable residents. Additionally, this report includes recommendations at the federal, state, and local level that policymakers must take to provide economic relief and protections for workers, keep community members in their homes, and ensure access to healthcare regardless of legal status.
