A previous editorial by the Editor-in-Chief discusses public health and steps towards recovery from the COVID-19 disaster. In addition to the current public health disasters, and multiple disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons and hurricanes, worldwide recession, and global morbidity and mortality, the authors would like to highlight the need for responses to deal with the well-being of the homeless population due to their condition and vulnerability in the society. People who are experiencing homelessness are considered vulnerable and "preferential options for the homeless" must be considered.
