AUDREY LILLEY | UNITED WAY OF LANCASTER COUNTY Shelters throughout Lancaster County have had to figure out this puzzle over and over again since COVID-19 arrived in the spring, devising ways to serve as many individuals experiencing homelessness as possible, while also adhering to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for mitigation. On top of that, shelters must juggle staffing levels as the number of workers — paid and volunteer — fluctuates due to the virus. “The shelter is a lot of moving pieces normally, but when you add a pandemic, that adds additional logistics,” Raffensperger said. An added stressor for those running shelters is preparing for the impact of COVID-19 on housing.
