Getting through the COVID-19 crisis will require strong partnerships and collaboration at all levels of government.
We call upon our local, state, and federal leaders to ensure that our homeless response leaders have the resources, tools, and support they need to protect themselves, as well as those they serve.
Strengthening systems, saving lives
We are working with our community leaders, coalition partners, and housing advocates to support policies and resources that strengthen our homeless response systems during this pandemic by:
- keeping people experiencing homelessness safe
- protecting the people serving them
- preserving hospital capacity to serve the community
- using resources to prevent housing instability and homelessness
We hope that this site will serve as a hub for regular updates and resources to guide your advocacy, learning, and action.
The Latest
Ensure critical resources go to people experiencing and at-risk of homelessness and the homeless response system.
