CORE is a rapid-response, nimble emergency relief organization that partners with communities to address both the immediate and long-term needs of the marginalized communities most vulnerable to disaster. We focus on building sustainable infrastructure and expanding essential wraparound services, including shelter, food, water, physical and mental health, and economic support services.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, CORE is supporting heavily impacted marginalized communities across the U.S., in partnership with local governments, medical providers, and community organizations in multiple cities including Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Napa Valley, Navajo Nation, New Orleans, North Carolina, Oakland (Alameda County), and Washington D.C. Since March 2020, CORE has been providing free testing and essential services at fixed and mobile sites nationwide, and has been operating community vaccination sites in Los Angeles and Atlanta since December 2020. We have also been conducting contact tracing through an innovative home visit program and providing wrap-around services to communities in need. To date, we have successfully provided close to 5 million tests, over 550,000 vaccinations, and more than 2,000 contact tracing and resource coordination home visits.
