“You don’t have to think too hard to imagine a world bereft of care; the COVID-19 pandemic has created a natural experiment in this devastating reality.”

This is 100% common sense and 100% worth the read. The economic case for treating caregiving as a public good. @janellecj @Groundwork

This. Who you are and why you do this work are both so important. “We [...] have often placed greater worth on [methods] than the [...] experience we have which would allow us to better understand and determine if and what methodological stance and methods might be best.”

Almost half of all renters who lost work or work-related income due to the pandemic are worried about paying next month's rent. A blog post that I helped write discusses how we can protect renters as the economy recovers.

@AllieGinDC @RanitaJain1 I mean, how could you resist “overly” bonding?! Look at that face.

@sunnydaejones @SteveVassor Love these. And when you put the money in the card, it HAS to be folded like 50 times so you have to unbundle it to figure out how much it actually is.

“It’s critical that government officials establish a seat at the table for local grassroots organizations” in the pandemic response and recovery.

Making time for human connection (in evaluation) is always essential, but especially now.

[Martena Reed @Eval_Gal]

My recent AEA blog post: Three Lessons for Evaluators Amid COVID-19
1) Evaluation contingency plans.
2) More low burden, creative methods.
3) Make time for human connection. Always.

Homeless with COVID-19 are twice as likely to be hospitalized, two to four times as likely to need critical care, and two to three times as likely to die.~$11.5 billion to meet emergency and quarantine shelter bed need. @naehomelessness and @DennisCulhane https://t.co/7gcknswQTp

People experiencing homelessness may be particularly vulnerable to COVID-19, via @thesamanthab https://t.co/3fgAY3Abhu

Join us on today's 2:30pmET national call on #COVID19 Housing/Homelessness https://t.co/XrAyVYU1Ug

Because providing resources to protect against an outbreak of #COVID19 among people who are homeless is not only a moral imperative, it's an urgent public health necessity

With all the closures happening across the country to help #FlattenTheCurve, I’m increasingly concerned about the livelihood of those working in the service industry and small business owners. Here are a few ways to support from @CNNBusiness

During your #SocialDistancing, take a minute to complete the #Census2020. Communities of color are already undercounted, and #COVID19 may mean that even more folks of color are not being included in a count that helps determine federal spending. Complete yours. Remind your folks.

#StartWithWhy I’ve learned the importance of aligning what I do with why I do it. Any place that doesn’t understand why that’s important is not for me. I’m grateful to be part of teams and the @urbaninstitute, where my job talk started with my why and my work everyday does, too.

To succeed in your next job interview, you need to figure out how to convey what matters most to you. https://t.co/6cp6pldzhe
