Hotels Became Shelters and Permanent Housing The most basic and impactful public-health response to the spread of Covid-19 was an order to stay at home. But that did nothing for people experiencing homelessness. And with a deadly virus being transmitted by people in close proximity, traditional homeless shelters with large groups of people in close quarters, did not present a good solution. Cities around the country began buying up hotel rooms to help vulnerable people quarantine. And some of those programs took a longer-term view. In April, the city of Missoula, Montana, purchased a small motel near its downtown, with the goal of using its rooms as temporary emergency shelter for people experiencing homelessness and, eventually, turning it into permanent affordable housing. Later, California embarked on a $600 million program called Project Homekey, to buy up old hotels and motels around the state and create permanent housing for people experiencing homelessness.
