Four emergency shelters were instituted in Lisbon during COVID-19, and are still in operation. Between March and August 2020, they served over 600 people. The shelters host a diverse population, including people experiencing homelessness, foreigners, LGBTI + people, those with reduced mobility, couples, those with pets, and People Who Use Drugs, including alcohol (henceforth PWUD). Individuals are provided care regardless of their immigration or residence status. In order to ensure continuity of care in the shelters and to bring in clients who usually refuse to be sheltered, a range of social and health interventions are integrated into the shelters. Harm reduction services ensure that the most vulnerable populations, PWUD and people experiencing homelessness, have access to the services they need. Innovations in service provision maximize the services impacts and pave the way for the future inclusion and development of these services.
在 COVID-19 期间,里斯本设立了四个紧急避难所,至今仍在运作。2020 年 3 月至 8 月期间,这些避难所共接待了 600 多人。避难所接待了来自不同背景的人,包括无家可归者、外国人、LGBTI+人群、行动不便者、夫妇、有宠物的人以及吸毒者,包括酗酒者(以下简称 PWUD)。无论其移民或居住身份如何,都为个人提供关怀。为了确保避难所内的护理服务能够持续进行,并吸引那些通常拒绝避难的客户,各种社会和卫生干预措施被纳入了避难所。减少伤害服务确保了最脆弱的人群,即吸毒者和无家可归者,能够获得他们所需的服务。服务提供方面的创新最大限度地提高了服务的影响,并为未来这些服务的包容和发展铺平了道路。
