What happens to Seattle's homeless population during a pandemic
Where can Seattle's homeless population go for assistance during this coronavirus outbreak? What is the city or state doing to help?
Bill Radke spoke to Seattle Times Project Homelessness reporter Scott Greenstone about what's being done to assist people.
Greenstone noted that the city has opened one new tiny house village to accommodate people, and expanded another. They have also opened Exhibition Hall as a shelter in an effort to limit the spread of the virus.
But officials have not yet stated how they will assist homeless students in need of food or shelter.
