Abstract

The measures adopted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic had a direct impact on homeless people in all countries where they were implemented. The temporary closure of services such as shelters, soup kitchens or day centres for harm reduction was one of the problematic dimensions for those who were homeless and used them regularly. In many cities, the prohibition to use public spaces such as parks or squares also put added pressure on homeless people. The main objective of this research is to understand the diverse trajectories of people who experienced a process of residential exclusion during the health emergency. A qualitative study was designed, based on in-depth interviews. The conclusions point to the fact that the trajectories of residential exclusion reported by the people interviewed are described as a worsening of their living conditions, with significant differences between homeless women and men and between the types of emergency accommodation they used.
