We could not have predicted the upheaval and uncertainty that came with the global COVID-19 pandemic. Now in 2021, the Gulf Coast region is still in the process of recovering. Gulf Coast responded quickly to the needs of our community, partnering with Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation in March 2020 to launch the COVID-19 Response Initiative. As we look toward the future, there remain significant community needs and long-term systemic issues to address together. Our 2021 regional scan provides critical trends and priorities in our community, and our commitment to action.
