Famicos is one of several affordable housing organizations who pivoted during the COVID pandemic to assist low-income communities to become vaccinated.
Famicos is one of 150 community-based organizations across the country and one of only five in the State of Ohio to receive a large grant from the CDC Foundation to support our work to increase vaccination numbers among African Americans and Asians in Cleveland.
In Ohio, only 77,000 African Americans have received their COVID vaccine while one million white Ohioans have received theirs. Famicos is on the front lines fighting yet another racial disparity.
