Communities struggle to make best use of COVID homeless aid

SHAENA MONTANARI AND NATALIE WALTERS Howard Center for Investigative Journalism Winter in Oregonâs Columbia River Gorge is wet and freezing, a life-threatening situation for the areaâs homeless residents even without a pandemic. Darcy Long-Curtiss understands that better than most. The shelter that normally provided nighttime refuge was closed because of COVID-19, and federal aid money meant to help protect homeless people from the pandemic came late and with confusing restrictions. By the time Long-Curtiss got permission to erect temporary shelters purchased with her communityâs share of the funding, temperatures were already dipping below freezing. She had just one week to ready the site and make potentially life-and-death decisions.

L A using pricey tiny homes to house the homeless

Print In other cities, 64-square-foot aluminum and composite sheds are being used as quick and inexpensive emergency shelter for homeless people. Not in Los Angeles. Here, plans to employ the minimalist structures, known as “tiny homes,” have blossomed into expensive development projects with access roads, underground utilities and concrete foundations and commensurate planning delays. At the city’s first tiny home village, scheduled to open in January, each of the 39 closet-sized homes is costing $130,000, about 10 times what some other cities are spending. Five more villages are planned to open later. Mayor Eric Garcetti announced the program in March, signaling that the concept of sheltering people in tiny homes, long neglected in Los Angeles, had emerged as a leading strategy in the city’s response to a federal lawsuit alleging it has done too little to get homeless people off the streets.
