The COVID-19 pandemic, which brought about unprecedented changes globally, shed light on the significant disparities faced by persons experiencing homelessness (PEH). These individuals faced an elevated risk of contracting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) due to factors such as lack of safe housing, limited access to hygiene and sanitation, and communal living situations. The unique challenges, vulnerabilities, and effects of COVID-19 on PEH is discussed, as well as lessons learned from these experiences, recommendations for practitioners, and the ongoing implications for addressing homelessness.
