Homeless System Leaders Provide Promising Practices Responding to COVID-19

The National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH) released a third report as part of its series on homeless system responses during COVID-19. The report, Responding to COVID-19: Conversations with Homeless System Leaders, identifies promising practices and is based on 24 interviews with Continuum of Care (CoC) leaders. These practices include: bringing testing to convenient locations for individuals experiencing homelessness, instituting alert systems to notify people if they were potentially exposed to COVID-19, admitting known sick people into alternative housing where they will not expose others, providing transportation to testing sites and housing placements, and increasing sanitation and use of PPE.
