Updates – April 24, 2020
  •        As of today, the City is not aware of anyone experiencing homelessness who has tested positive for COVID-19. However, we expect that this will change at any time.
  •        The City and State Emergency Operations Centers have worked together to established a hotel to provide safe shelter to COVID-19 impacted individuals who need to self-isolate but do not have a safe place to do so. This includes people experiencing homelessness. The isolation units at the Westside Emergency Housing Center are still available for use as overflow/backup, but for now people experiencing homelessness who are awaiting test results or who have a confirmed case will stay in a hotel room.
  •        There is a process in place for service providers to connect people experiencing homelessness to a hotel room, including transportation to the hotel and testing. I have emailed the executive director of agencies that primarily serve people experiencing homelessness with this information. If your agency has not received this information but you would like it, please let me know.
·       The statewide moratorium on evictions remains in place. See attached for more information (which I have sent out before) on steps tenants need to take to protect themselves from eviction, even with the moratorium in place.
 
  •        The City has placed portable restrooms throughout the City during this public health crisis. Currently, each restroom has hand sanitizer. We are working on securing handwashing stations (all local vendors are out of handwashing stations). Current locations are:
