Services for Special Populations Services for special populations are essential services that have been tailored to address the special needs of homeless youths, victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, including connections to services offered by rape crisis centers, domestic violence shelters, and other organizations that serve persons who meet the HUD homeless definition and have special needs.

COVID-19 Services COVID-19 has caused widespread concern for the health and safety of those experiencing homelessness, as well as concern for the environment and safety of greater community members and visitors. Living unsheltered may allow people to increase physical distance between themselves and others. However, sleeping outdoors does not provide protection from the environment, personal safety, adequate access to hygiene and sanitation facilities, or connection to services and healthcare. During the pandemic, City Net's street outreach and engagement staff are ensuring that unsheltered homeless neighbors have access to services and updated information about COVID-19, by working to: • Provide information to educate people about COVID-19: where they can get tested, how it spreads, health impacts, common symptoms, and other features of the disease. • Use health messages and materials developed by credible public health sources, such as local and state public health departments or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). • Provide educational materials about COVID-19 for non-English speakers, those with low literacy or intellectual disabilities, and people who are hearing or vision impaired. • Ensure communication with clients about changes in homeless services policies and/or changes in physical location of services such as food, water, hygiene facilities, regular healthcare, and behavioral health resources. • Provide health and hygiene interventions: City Net — Local Field Office: 2030 E. 4'h Street, Santa Ana, CA 92705
