A San Francisco study shows that the City’s covid-focused policy to house homeless folks in hotels helped those folks access more primary healthcare with fewer emergency room needs, and also helped get access to longer term housing. Our guests are Dr Elizabeth Abbs, one of the authors of the study, who is a primary care doctor at Tom Waddell Urban Health Center in the Tenderloin; along with Chuqin Jiang, is a data reporter with San Francisco-based independent newsroom Mission Local.
