Subject: COVID Positive People Experiencing Homelessness - Updating Maureen's Sunday Actions

Good morning everyone,

I know I don't have all the shelter and day center providers on this list so someone please take a look and forward.

Some of you know that Next Chapter asked me to help them yesterday - they lost power Sunday morning at the utility pole and TPU told them 24-48 hours to repair.  They put five COVID negative women into hotel rooms and reached out to me about the two COVID positive moms, one of whom had a two year old child.  

If you want the entire story, let me know and I'll forward my own "after action" notes.  You should know that Kejuan Woods responded to my urgent 7pm text and talked with me and with Monique Patterson, Next Chapter.  He said he would follow up today.  He said they are working on an Isolation site - in addition to the adult family home beds which we know don't work for everyone.   

IF you don't have a relationship with Kejuan yet, I encourage you to make one today - no one turns a COVID positive person outside.  Confirm the use of hotel rooms with Kejuan and ask what you need to do to get those rooms for people who cannot access the aduilt family home beds.  We have to get from now to the Isolation site up and running.  

This email though is to let you know I made some recommendations - though I clearly said I had not run them by you.  Maybe you've already made these and I just don't know because that's a loop I'm not in.  If you have done so, please send me those so I have them.  In either case, please take a look and let me kmow if these make sense for you.  I thnk we need a protocol anyone can follow that gets the COVID positive person from the shelter/encampment to an isolation site quickly and the same with those requiring quarantine.

Here's what I sent TPCHD and others last night:

Recommendations:  These are mine and I haven't run them by the shelters.
