The American Association of Service Coordinators (AASC), in collaboration with researchers from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, released a study "Impact of COVID-19 on Residents Living in Federally- Assisted Housing" which examines the impact of COVID-19 for low-income residents who live in federally-assisted rental housing communities.

Impact of COVID-19 on Residents Living in Federally-Assisted Housing is based on a survey conducted in June 2020 with 1,440 service coordinators in 49 states. Nearly all (96%) of the survey respondents are employed to serve a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development-assisted property and 88% work at a property primarily serving adults 62 years and older. 

Almost a third (32%) of survey respondents estimated that more than a quarter of the residents they serve are African American; 20% reported that more than a quarter are Latino; 14% reported that more than a quarter are Asian; 27% reported that more than a quarter have limited English proficiency; and 56% reported that more than a quarter are disabled.
