COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented crisis that is hitting all of us hard. There is no handbook for this one. We have orders to follow, and recommendations coming from all different directions, but how you implement the orders or recommendations at your shelter can feel overwhelming. Here is a list of resources that may be helpful to you as you decide how best to operate during this pandemic. If you know of a resource that should be included here, please email ohiofedhs@gmail.com
