protect children from covid 19

Support for homeless people should not only include those experiencing homelessness but also be concerned with protecting those vulnerably housed who are at a higher risk of homelessness because of the economic impact of COVID-19 outbreak. Mortgage holidays have been announced in several countries. Similar measures for renters, who are often more vulnerable in the short term, should be developed. Specific measures targeting the insecurely housed are needed, such as a moratorium on evictions to stop people losing their housing during the pandemic. Broader measures to protect vulnerable people from the economic impact of the pandemic will also be important next steps.
