Community Outreach & Prevention Education (C.O.P.E) Project

COPE PROJECT

Who We Are

This project aims to actively engage with their surrounding communities to uplift, and support those who are deprived of certain services. The C.O.P.E Project is a regional response project launched by the Office of Community Partnerships and Strategic Communication (OCPSC) in partnership with the California Health Collaborative (CHC). The program is currently working in Riverside and San Bernardino County with COVID-19 and ITIN. This project aims to provide COVID-19 harm reduction education, encourage community members to get vaccinated and assist with vaccination appointments. It also encourages the community to obtain an ITIN number to allow foreign nationals and other individuals who are not eligible for a social security number to comply with the United States tax laws and file taxes, open a bank account, start a business, build credit, get a driver’s license, and claim cashback tax credits for low-income workers.
