| Opplysninger | The speed and scale of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has disrupted the social safety net in the United States. This includes social services organizations that support both individuals currently experiencing or at risk of homelessness and those involved with the criminal justice system. The authors of this report conducted semistructured interviews with representatives from social services organizations in Los Angeles County. These interviews assessed how these service providers are responding to COVID-19. The interviews also uncovered lessons learned and innovative strategies for dealing with the pandemic that could be more broadly disseminated. The authors recount these interviews and lessons learned, and provide recommendations for social services organizations.
