    Document: More than half a million adults are homeless in the United States 1 and comprise a highrisk group for the novel coronavirus disease 2019 . Living in shelters or on the streets makes protective measures including social distancing and handwashing difficult and high rates of underlying health conditions, 2 including obstructive lung disease, 3 increases vulnerability. An estimated 21,000 people experiencing homelessness in the United States could require hospitalization at a peak infection rate of 40%. 4 As a matter of policy, the most vulnerable homeless adults are prioritized for Housing First programs, 5 which refers to immediate access to independent living situations coupled with support services-also known as permanent supportive housing (PSH). 6 In 2019, the United States had more than 369,000 PSH units 1 that can provide a venue for social distancing. Older units such as single-room occupancy (SRO) with shared bathroom facilities, however, may make social distancing more challenging.
