(CSH) New COVID-19 Resources for Communities

Hotels to Home and Supporting Aging Tenants

From Hotel to Home Exploring Hotel/Motel Acquisitions as a Housing Strategy for People Exiting COVID-19 Shelters Many communities have taken bold action to help people experiencing homelessness move into temporary settings, such as hotels, motels, trailers, and large public arenas, in response to COVID-19. As we move beyond the crisis we must not return thousands of residents to the streets after the pandemic. One commonly proposed option is to acquire the hotels and motels where people are temporarily living. From Hotel to Home: Key Considerations for States and Local Jurisdictions Exploring Hotel/Motel Acquisitions as a Housing Strategy for People Exiting Covid-19 Shelters outlines six considerations to take into account when exploring this option, including initial feasibility questions to ask about hotel/motel acquisitions and the importance of exploring multiple re-housing strategies.
