<\/div>

Homelessness in the US is at a record high, much of which is\u00a0<\/span><\/span>due to the effects<\/span><\/span>\u00a0of COVID-19 on job security, rent payments, and healthcare. As colder wi<\/span><\/span>nter months approach, it is crucial for programs, initiatives, and communities to adapt care for those who experience homelessness, particularly as this population is at additional risk of contracting coronavirus.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

THE HOLIDAYS AND HOMELESSNESS<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

P<\/span>eople across the US are gearing up for the usual stress\u00a0<\/span>of th<\/span>e\u00a0<\/span>holiday\u00a0<\/span>season<\/span>\u00a0coupled with the added uncertainty of COVID-19. Many states have\u00a0<\/span>issued stay-at-home orders to deal with rising coronavirus cases, and families are deciding\u00a0<\/span>if\u2014<\/span>and how<\/span>\u2014<\/span>to celebrate the holidays with those they love.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Inside this national emergency, however, is another crisis<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>e<\/span>xperts<\/span>\u00a0predict that as many as 250,000 Americans will be experiencing homelessness for the first time this winter, adding to the already\u00a0<\/span>500,000 people homeless<\/span>\u00a0on a given night<\/span>\u00a0in the U<\/span>S1<\/span><\/span>. <\/span>With homelessness support programs already mired down by cutting available beds and services\u00a0<\/span>due to\u00a0<\/span>COVID-19 precauti<\/span>ons,\u00a0<\/span>thousands of Americans<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>will be left without essential services such as running water, bathrooms, and shelter.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

WHY THE SUDDEN UPTICK?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Although homeless<\/span>ness<\/span> has been on an overall decline since 20072<\/span>, 2020 has seen a <\/span>sharp\u00a0<\/span>rise\u00a0<\/span>in<\/span>\u00a0homeless ca<\/span>ses<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>This shift is due<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0most directly<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0to the novel coronavirus, which has led to\u00a0<\/span>unprecedented unemployment levels3<\/span>, in turn correlating with eviction and ultimately homelessness. <\/span>S<\/span>helters have been forced to reduce bed numbers\u00a0<\/span>to<\/span>\u00a0maintain social distancing, meaning that less and less people experiencing homelessness are able\u00a0<\/span>to secure shelter on a given night.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, logistical care for those being tested for coronavirus infection<\/span>\u00a0(including isolation areas for those awaiting test results, quarantine space for those who have tested positive<\/span>, and protective housing for those most at risk) is simply not feasible4<\/span><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>People experiencing homelessness are one of the highest risk groups for contracting COVID-19\u00a0<\/span>because they<\/span>\u00a0cannot perform\u00a0<\/span>the most basic CDC guidelines for preventative ca<\/span>re, such as regular hand washing and social isolation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

COVID-19 has created a spiral of\u00a0<\/span>risk for people experiencing homelessness, forcing more people out of secure housing and into living situations that put them at higher exposure<\/span>\u00a0to<\/span>\u00a0and heightened risk\u00a0<\/span>of serious\u00a0<\/span>health complications.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

INCREASED DIFFICULTY AS WINTER SETS IN\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

With more Americans experiencing homelessness, health experts are expressing increased anxiety over winter living conditions. On average, over 1,300<\/span> Americans die each year from exposure to excessive, natural cold5<\/span><\/span>, and many predict 2020 to see an increase in this number<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0For<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>t<\/span>hose who survive the freezing temperatures<\/span>, they\u00a0<\/span>still often face frostbite, hypothermia, and uncontrollable shivers6<\/span>. <\/span>Now is the time when programs are most in need and people are most at risk.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

HOW PROGRAMS CAN ADAPT\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The CDC recommends the best course of action for programs to adapt to COVID-19 risk while caring for those who experience homelessness<\/span>\u00a0is to implement\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>whole community approach<\/span><\/a>7<\/span>. <\/span>Such an approach entails increased communication with neighboring shelters, data cooperation through\u00a0<\/span>case management systems like\u00a0<\/span>ClientTrack<\/span><\/a>, and\u00a0<\/span>enhanced information dispersion to those using homeless services.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some cities have seen success<\/span>ful<\/span>\u00a0at mitigating the homeless-coronavirus crisis through community coordination with\u00a0<\/span>local businesses<\/span>. San Diego<\/span>, for example,<\/span>\u00a0convert<\/span>ed its unused\u00a0<\/span>stadium into additional shelter for hundreds\u00a0<\/span>of locals8<\/span><\/span>. <\/span>While an innovative short-term solution, electricity and water\u00a0<\/span>usage\u00a0<\/span>cost the city over $40 million and sugges<\/span>ts<\/span>\u00a0that communities still need to develop more sustainable solutions.\u00a0<\/span>While homeless populations handle COVID-19, however, converting stadiums and other unused businesses into shelters may be the most prudent\u00a0<\/span>option.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For communities that don\u2019t have access to\u00a0<\/span>buildings l<\/span>ike San Diego\u2019s stadium, both the CDC and other experts caution against clear<\/span>ing encampments9<\/span>. <\/span>Doing so cuts\u00a0<\/span>connections<\/span>\u00a0with healthcare providers and\u00a0<\/span>increases both exposure and spread of the coronavirus.\u00a0<\/span>A<\/span>llowing encampments to remain where they<\/span>\u00a0are at\u00a0<\/span>will b<\/span>est protect those living in such areas<\/span>\u2014instead, programs can help implement social isolation measures in such places to help slow the spread of COVID-19.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On an individual level,\u00a0<\/span>the holidays\u00a0<\/span>are<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>a salient\u00a0<\/span>time to contribute to community efforts for ending homelessness.<\/span>\u00a0Shelters\u00a0<\/span>need\u00a0<\/span>donations<\/span>\u00a0most<\/span>\u00a0during the winter<\/span>\u00a0to combat the cold<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0these\u00a0<\/span>donations<\/span>\u00a0can<\/span>\u00a0includ<\/span>e<\/span>\u00a0socks, blankets, and coats (9).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Community members are encouraged to participate in socially-distant clothing drives, food donation events, and other volunteer opportunities\u2014all of which are great alternatives to social gatherings.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More than anything, it is important to remember that no matter where you are, there is someone in your city who is trying to survive the winter without a home. As programs, initiatives, and individuals come together within their commun<\/span>ities to help those experiencing homelessness, we can work towards a safer and healthier future.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
