Abut the Community Response Workers

The Community Response Workers are responsible for connecting diverse communities to COVID testing, vaccination sites, and resources including contact tracing and/or case investigation as assigned. It is essential to draw on community strengths and trusted community networks to respond effectively to COVID-19 and to longstanding health inequities made worse by the pandemic.  
Community Response Workers may support with any or all the following, as needed: 
  • Testing sites 
  • Vaccination scheduling and sites 
  • COVID-19 case investigation and contact tracing 
  • Event outreach and in-person community canvassing 
  • COVID-19 Hotline Call Center (inbound and outbound calls) 
  • Community resources (Healthcare, Mental health, Housing, Rental Assistance, Food Support)  
  • Employment resources  
  • Any other activity CDPH may deem necessary to slow the transmission of Covid-19

The LRII Community Response Workers

Our Community Response Workers have been helping protect you, your family, and your community by:
  • Bringing awareness to people through canvasing and other community events.
  • ​Helping people diagnosed with COVID-19 get referrals for services and resources they may need to safely isolate.
  • Notifying people who have come into close contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19 about their exposure.
  • Helping people who were exposed to COVID-19 know what steps to take, depending on their vaccination status. Follow-up may include testing and quarantine for unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated people, and testing and wearing a mask for fully vaccinated.

Some of our CRW team and LRII staff attended the "Back to School, Health and Resource Fair" event that took place in "La Villita", hosted by AETNA and Salvation Army. Our agency was able to  hand out Covid19 test kits and information that our agency offers to the community.
