HAA Covid Task Force
In response to the pandemic COVID 19, which to date has had devastating impact, disproportionately in minority communities, the Haitian American COVID 19 Task Force has been formed.
It consists of the coordinated efforts of professionals from multiple disciplines, and several community-based organizations under a unifying umbrella. The vision of the Task Force is to provide much needed support to those most in need, to address critical issues of concern, namely: medical, psychological, and social.
To reach its goal, the Task Force has mobilized the expertise of a broad-based group of volunteers, faith and community-based organizations, political and Union leaders to educate, alleviate or prevent the sufferings that are arising from this natural catastrophe.

Haitian American Alliance COVID-19 Task Force
Our Haitian American nonprofit organization responded to the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Because it affected a disproportionate number of minority communities, we formed the Haitian American COVID-19 Task Force. It unifies professionals from multiple disciplines and several community-based organizations under one umbrella. The goal is to support those most in need and address medical, psychological, and social areas of concern. The task force has mobilized a broad-based group of expert volunteers, faith and community-based organizations, political and union leaders to educate, and mitigate the inequities exposed by the pandemic.
