Resources for COVID-19

Information about COVID-19 is changing quickly. You can visit the state website (Michigan.gov/Coronavirus) and CDC website (CDC.gov/Coronavirus) for the latest news and information.

For those who have questions about state actions to reduce the spread of COVID-19, please call the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) hotline at 1-888-535-6136 between 8 AM AND 5 pm daily.

As more information and resources around the COVID-19 becomes available, we will update you on the latest information and how it impacts our families, parents, students and partners.

If you or somebody you know is experiencing a fever, cough, or shortness of breath, with possible exposure to someone who has traveled or potentially been exposed to COVID-19, encourage them to seek medical attention.

If you have general questions about the outbreak or need assistance during this time, please call us at 313-841-4447. Please know we are here for you during this very difficult time!

Mass Resource List 

UNI has been working alongside 20 other Detroit based organizations to create a "Virtual Town Hall" . Here we will provide information, support, and resources to help parents, families, and students cope with the COVID-19 crisis. Topics will include education, public health, childcare and securing basic needs. Join us every other Thursday from 12:00 - 1:15 pm as we talk to experts and answer your questions. 

Aside from these weekly town halls, we have also come together to create a mass resource website for Detroit families. You can find a wide range of resources at: www.covid313.org​
