N1 - Funding Information:
The LGBTQ1 Relief Fund dispersed $67 100 in financial assistance to 671 LGBTQ1 Floridians. Funds covered personal needs such as utility and tele phone bills, rent, medication, and food. A formal evaluation of the program has not been conducted, but one organization leader explained clients’ appreciation for the funds: “Folks are saying, ‘My community was here for me before my government was’” (oral personal communication, March 11, 2021). Such expressions underscore how the LGBTQ1 Relief Fund filled a gap in Florida’s public health infrastructure by providing economic aid.

N2 - Structural racism is a root cause of poor health in the United States and underlies COVID-19-related disparities for Black and Latinx populations. We describe how one community-based organization responded to structural racism and COVID-19 in Florida. Informed by the literature on how public health practice changed from emphasizing prevention (Public Health 1.0) to collaboration between governmental and public health agencies (Public Health 2.0) and examining social determinants of health (Public Health 3.0), we call for a politically engaged Public Health 4.0.
