COVID-19 Response
The Office on Homelessness has worked with community partners to implement multiple programs such as mobile shower trailers, non-congregate shelter, and the COVID-19 Guest House to disrupt transmission and promote access to health, sanitation, and vaccination resources during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the pandemic transitions to a new phase, the Office on Homelessness will continue to assess the severity of local transmission rates and alter programming accordingly to support Knoxville’s unhoused neighbors.
