The findings come as San Francisco and California are both examining the impacts of using hotels during the pandemic to provide emergency housing for people who are homeless, and what to do next as homelessness continues to grow across the state.
Shelter-in-Place hotels provide residents with a room plus on-site access to health services, including nursing support, routine wellness checks and health screenings, as well as harm-reduction services aimed at reducing drug overdoses.
Visits among the the high-use group who received placement decreased from an average of 1.84 visits in the 90 days before the SIP hotel program to 0.82 visits in the 90 days after their hotel placement. “We worked with the Department of Public Health to include a lot of wrap-around services to make sure people could actually shelter in place,” said Emily Cohen, Deputy Director for Communications and Legislative Affairs at the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing. “We had on-site doctors and nurses going into the SIP hotels. If someone did get COVID, they could get isolation and quarantine and medical care was brought to them.
Now, San Francisco is in the process of winding down its hotel program and moving residents into other forms of housing.
