Summary: Voluntary universal testing for COVID-19 is feasible in homeless shelters. Flexible approaches, considering the level of community transmission, available resources, and local recommendations, will be needed for universal testing in high-risk facilities. Adapted strategies, such as assisted self-collection of specimens and barrier-free communication, may help overcome implementation barriers in homeless shelters.

Summary: This article describes a framework developed by the Austin Public Health department to anticipate isolation bed demand for people experiencing homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a mathematical model, it was projected that a maximum of 299 homeless individuals may require isolation rooms in a single week without social distancing measures. Based on this analysis, a lease agreement was finalized for 205 isolation rooms, with a maximum of 130 rooms used on a single day as of October 7th, 2020.
