DHS-PB-2022-018: Guidelines For Placing Clients in Single Rooms and Reduced Density Placements (December 20, 2022)
|
During the COVID-19 emergency, DHS adopted temporary, interim guidelines ("Interim Guidelines") for placing single adult clients in single or double rooms based on medical conditions that may have put them at a higher risk for severe illness if they contracted COVID-19. The Interim Guidelines were designed to respond to the COVID-19 emergency and did not prohibit DHS from returning single adults to congregate shelter when DHS determined it was safe to do so.
At this time, DHS is superseding the Interim Guidelines, and issuing the guidelines set forth below ("Guidelines") for the provision of reduced density shelter placements, including single rooms, in the single adult shelter system, taking into consideration the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic and medical and public health advances. The portion of the revised guidelines related to risk of infection are based on CDC guidance (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-
