Homeless in a Pandemic

Hotel bookings in Seattle have dropped as big conventions, including the Comic Con — which organizers hope to reschedule for during the summer — have been postponed or canceled.

Giselle Routhier, policy director at the Coalition for the Homeless, and Dr. Kelly Doran, assistant professor of emergency medicine at NYU Langone Health where she studies how health care systems can better address homelessness and other social determinants of health, talk about how the coronavirus could impact New York’s homeless population, and whether the city is doing enough to mitigate the risk.
