California Social Resource Database (CSRD) is an organization dedicated to helping those who are affected by this pandemic.
We hope to provide individuals of all backgrounds the social needs resources they need to thrive at this devastating time. We strive to provide an easily accessible database of different tools, initiatives, resources and more that organizations are developing to support emergency services in the fight against COVID-19. Our database serves to provide information towards food, employment, housing, education, utility, and other services specific to each county in California.
