Homelessness SUCKS. Food insecurity, exposure to the elements, and insufficient rest all contribute to that difficult life. And because of these factors, the COVID-19 pandemic is even more threatening to people who are homeless. 

Luckily, there are steps an unhoused person can take to protect themselves! Wearing a mask, using hand sanitizer, getting immunized, and safely socially isolating as much as possible are things they can do to help keep themselves safe. Del Norte county has many resources that offer help.

Masks and sanitizers are available at:

-Rural Human Services on 286 M Street

-The Department of Health and Human Services on 880 Northcrest Drive

-Community Assistance Network on 355 Standard Veneer
