Description: Eric Jonathan Sheptock, a working homeless person addresses how Covid-19 has impacted him. He works for a company that provides porta-potties and hand washing stations for events and has had his hours dramatically cut. His company contracts with the city to now provide these services to homeless encampments, and he has gained a greater sense of the large numbers of people living outside. He is currently in a hotel under quarantine after discovering the person who sleeps near him at his shelter contracted Covid-19, but he does not have symptoms. He hopes we do not forget about the homeless when things go back to normal, that we work together to end homelessness and increase access to affordable housing and living wage jobs.
