2-1-1 San Diego is leveraging its Community Information Exchange to engage with the community around COVID-19
testing sites and resources. Given 2-1-1 San Diego’s priority focus on serving vulnerable populations, community partners
have been able to use the Community Information Exchange to assess whether individuals who test positive have all of
the social resources they need to socially isolate safely, and respond accordingly. At the state level, California Governor
Gavin Newsome’s administration is overseeing a project to gather what social needs have been related to COVID (e.g.,
food assistance, rental/utilities assistance, etc.) time in order to inform public health emergency planning, response, and
recovery efforts.
