The Impact of COVID-19 on Homelessness

Social services have become limited in 2020 due to the response of Covid-19. The economic effects of this pandemic have put more Americans at risk of homelessness than ever before. One of the major negative impacts of Covid-19 was eviction rates increasing throughout the United States. This increase in evictions left many people homeless which led to a federal order to halt residential evictions until the spread of Covid-19 subsided. Along with this came rising unemployment rates meaning people were losing their jobs and were no longer able to pay their bills.
