Across the country, homeless populations have been battered by Covid-19.
Over 700 people without housing have tested positive for the disease in Boston. Similar outbreaks among homeless Americans have taken hold in cities like Washington, D.C., San Francisco and Philadelphia.
In Vermont, only one person experiencing homelessness tested positive for Covid-19. No one has died.
