COVID-19 / Homelessness

Disasters lay bare class inequalities. We see this mainly because the negative impacts of these disaster are disproportionately borne by those on the lower rungs of the social ladder.  The COVID-19 pandemic is no different. However, housing precarity contributes to social suffering and death in ways unique to pandemics vs. other sorts of crises. 

From the onset of the pandemic in March, 2020 through July I worked full-time with advocates and policy officials on the COVID-19 response to homelessness in San Francisco. Included on this page are presentations, reports, opinion pieces, policy recommendations, commentary in the media, and proposed legislation that I participated in.
