Rhode Island's Response for COVID-Positive Individuals Experiencing Homelessness and Housing Insecurity: A
Abstract:
From March-June 2020, Rhode Island utilized a 209-room hotel as a quarantine/isolation (Q/I) facility for COVID-positive individuals experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity. This qualitative study used semi-structured interviews to explore experiences of key stakeholders in designing and implementing the intervention. Four major themes emerged from the data analysis: 1) the isolative nature of Q/I housing tended to negatively affect residents' mental health, 2) the addition of medical oversight was a key positive development for the intervention, 3) the security presence involved in the response tended to exacerbate residents' mental health challenges, and 4) COVID-19 and this Q/I response highlighted homelessness itself as a public health crisis that must be addressed. Findings from this study may be useful for informing ongoing COVID-19 and future epidemic/pandemic responses, particularly with respect to addressing the needs of people experiencing homelessness.
