This week we are highlighting a key finding from The 2020 Forsyth Promise Community Education Report each day:

Key Finding #1: Significant systemic factors are negatively impacting students in Forsyth County and negatively impacting our community's educational outcomes.

Many of these factors (such as family economic security, housing stability, mental health, and discrimination and bias) are “upstream” of our educational systems and affect students before they ever set foot in a classroom.

Locally, an estimated 61% of adult Hispanic/Latino males and 43% of adult Hispanic/Latina females do not have health insurance, which puts their families at significant financial risk if they contract COVID-19 and incur unexpected medical costs.

In regard to the local COVID-19 crisis, about 38% of Forsyth County residents live in households where housing is rented. An estimated 64% of residents in households that rent their homes and 77% of children in households that rent would experience a housing cost burden if workers with at-risk jobs in their households were to lose those jobs. Additionally, 62% of residents in renting households that were previously experiencing burdensome rent costs have primary income earners working at-risk jobs. This is particularly problematic for housing security because renters tend to have less money in savings and less access to credit than homeowners and have not received the same federal relief from monthly payments as homeowners, which puts them at a particularly high risk of being displaced.
