Quote from caregiver recipient of safety net supports during COVID-19 pandemic reading, “These programs can be the difference between survival and literally death for people and for children.. you are giving them foundational things to survive upon… a house, food… some sense of security.” Screenshot of abstract information on AJPH website.
