People Experiencing Homelessness – November 19
The third webinar will examine services available to people experiencing homelessness in the context of public health emergencies, and the way in which laws and policies can both protect or negatively impact this vulnerable group. Not only can public health emergencies exacerbate homelessness itself, they can intensify chronic and acute consequences for individuals experiencing homelessness. People experiencing homelessness tend to have a higher prevalence of preexisting conditions that increase the risk of experiencing poorer outcomes once sick. Additionally, overcrowding and unsanitary conditions in camps and shelters may increase viral transmission among people experiencing homelessness. The focus of this webinar will be to discuss the policies that can be put in place during public health emergencies to protect individuals experiencing homelessness.

The rapid spread of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) across the U.S. has been met with a decentralized and piecemeal response led primarily by governors, mayors and local health departments.

Many of our state and local leaders have been faced with unprecedented decisions in regulating a public health crisis. In this session hosted by the CSG Intergovernmental Affairs Committee, hear from members of several leading membership organizations representing state and local governments on how federal strategy related to COVID-19 has impacted state and local jurisdictions.

People Who Are Incarcerated – December 17
The fourth webinar in the series will focus on approaches to protecting people in custody at correctional services departments, who may be adversely affected during public health emergencies. For example, in the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, individuals who are incarcerated have experienced much higher infection rates and mortality rates compared to the general U.S. population. Because people who are incarcerated are extremely vulnerable during public health emergencies, additional safety measures may be required.
