Our legislation to keep SIP hotels open passed out of Committee tonight.
With COVID-19 cases spiking, cold coming, shelters mostly closed, lack of housing placements available, FEMA reimbursing most of cost--its common sense to keep hotels open for health, safety, humanity.

Thanks to the many people who called in, organized, including the SIP residents, operators, providers, workers.
The legislation passed 2-1. It'll take more work to get a veto-proof majority to pass it at the Board next week.
The Shelter in Place hotels have been one of the most successful, effective, and cost effective programs we have had as part of the COVID-19 response. It's reckless and non-sensical to shut them down, will absolutely lead to more people on the streets during this plague.
