COVID 19 rough sleepers randomised

项目摘要

As part of the government's response to COVID-19, 15,000 rough sleepers have now been offered self-contained temporary accommodation in England, mainly in hotels. This approach, which has involved the decanting of hostels, shelters and similar shared provision for rough sleepers, is a short-term response.When the lockdown ends, decisions will need to be taken about how to house former rough sleepers in line with the UK government's commitment to prevent people from going back to the streets - including, potentially, through the re-opening of shelter-type accommodation. Existing temporary accommodation with shared facilities might make it impossible for people to comply with government social distancing advice. So these decisions will impact on the risk of a second wave of infection from COVID-19 and possibly any mutations.This proposal outlines a unique time limited opportunity to conduct the first ever randomised controlled trial in the UK, to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of permanent housing on the risk of COVID-19 infection and housing stability for people experiencing homelessness.That many homeless people are currently waiting to be housed means they can be randomly allocated to different housing solutions at scale quickly. The insights drawn from the short-term impacts of permanent housing can be used to inform other local authorities' responses to the challenges of COVID-19 and the cost-effectiveness of accommodation alternatives more broadly.

作为政府应对COVID-19的一部分，英国目前为1.5万名露宿者提供了独立的临时住宿，主要是在酒店。这种方法包括为露宿者提供旅馆、庇护所和类似的共享设施，这是一种短期应对措施。当封锁结束后，需要做出决定，根据英国政府防止人们重返街头的承诺，如何安置以前的露宿者——包括可能通过重新开放庇护所型住宿。现有的带有共享设施的临时住所可能使人们无法遵守政府的社交距离建议。因此，这些决定将影响2019冠状病毒病第二波感染的风险，以及可能出现的任何突变。该提案概述了在英国进行首次随机对照试验的独特时间有限的机会，以评估永久性住房对COVID-19感染风险和无家可归者住房稳定性的有效性和成本效益。许多无家可归的人目前正在等待安置，这意味着他们可以迅速被随机分配到不同的住房解决方案。从永久性住房的短期影响中获得的见解可用于为其他地方当局应对COVID-19挑战以及更广泛的住宿替代方案的成本效益提供信息。
