Description of Program and Relief
Homeless COVID-19 Isolation and Recovery Sites
Sites have been established for homeless individuals with mild or moderate cases of COVID-19 to isolate and recover in the towns of Lexington, Pittsfield, Taunton, Northampton, and Everett. The sites are available to individuals who:
-
are homeless (people who normally sleep at a shelter, on the street, for whom home is unsafe due to violence, or who do not have a permanent address); AND
-
who are COVID-19 positive OR have a medical provider’s note recommending isolation and can safely isolate without medical supervision.
These sites are for individuals who have mild or moderate symptoms and do not need hospital level of care or nursing facility level of care. Medical treatment is not provided on site. These locations cannot support individuals who need assistance with Activities of Daily Living or who need the level of care provided at a Skilled Nursing Facility.
For shelter providers located outside Boston, please call 617-367-5150 between the hours of 7am and 7pm. The intake coordinator will determine eligibility, register an individual for the program, and have the guest placed and transported to the nearest Isolation and Recovery location that has availability.
For shelter providers located in Boston please call 617-534-5050 to access sites in Boston.
