First Coronavirus-Related Death Of Homeless Person Sets Off Race To Find Shelter In Santa Clara Co.

http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2020/03/17/first-coronavirus-related-death-of-homeless-person-sets-off-race-to-find-shelter-in-santa-clara-co/

SAN JOSE (KPIX) – Homeless advocates were highly critical of the response of public health officials and local governments to the first reported death of a homeless man or woman from novel coronavirus in the state of California.

“The inaction, the talk and the endless promises that are made are frustrating. The people here should have been housed anyway in my opinion. And it took a pandemic to get them a port-a-potty and a hand washing station,” says Pastor Scott Wagers who regularly ministers to the homeless at a sprawling encampment at Roosevelt Park on the outskirts of downtown San Jose.

The city of San Jose has installed portable toilets, hand-washing stations and showers at 14 homeless encampments. It’s an attempt to provide basic hygiene and sanitation services for the homeless during the outbreak. But lagging behind those changes is a plan to provide shelter for homeless men and women exposed to or diagnosed with coronavirus.
