SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, poses a high risk for senior housing communities and the people who live and work there.

This course provides comprehensive instruction and resources for property owners and managers, senior housing staff, service coordinators and providers, community housing leaders, and other senior housing stakeholders to build upon their emergency preparedness and response strategies related to COVID-19. The course lectures, interviews, and assignments are largely geared toward federally-subsidized, multifamily senior housing providers, but the material is relevant for all senior housing providers. **Free enrollment available until December 31, 2021.
