Communities across the nation, including the <br />State of California, initiated Shelter in Place Orders that encouraged non- <br />essential workers to shelter in their homes, and that shut down all non- <br />essential businesses. <br />Basis for <br />Relative <br />Priority <br />Impacts from the pandemic are expected to spread from health risks from <br />homelessness, needs for additional housing to support persons experiencing <br />homelessness in providing non-congregate shelters to prevent the spread of <br />COVID-19. Additionally, the Shelter-in-Place Orders resulted in mass <br />business shut-downs during the term of the order. The shutdowns impacted <br />non-essential services and resulted in record unemployment. Essential <br />businesses need assistance in preserving jobs during the shelter-in-place <br />order. Businesses that have shut down will need support in re-opening and <br />ramping back up into full operations, including both job retention and job <br />creation efforts. <br /> <br /> <br />50
