Résumé

The measures adopted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in terms of social isolation and lockdowns, made homeless people a focal point for emergency health measures and law enforcement. This paper analyses the different institutional responses by reviewing the scientific literature on the pandemic and homelessness in different cities. It discusses whether, in the context of the health emergency, there has been a shift towards policies of confinement and control of homelessness or whether, as some papers argue, the pandemic has revealed that the goal of eradicating homelessness is possible if there is sufficient political will. The case of the city of Alicante and the care provided to homeless people during the health crisis is analyzed. The findings describe a scenario of regression towards forms of containment and management of homelessness that represent a clear departure from the housing-centered responses that seemed to be being implemented in Alicante in the years prior to the pandemic
