We talk about homelessness when a person is unable to provide even basic care in his/her own
life (regular meals, clean and tidy clothes, care for hygiene and cleanliness, etc.) and in these
respects he/she depends on other people or institutions (Dekleva in Razpotnik, 2017).
Homelessness is, in fact, a very complex phenomenon, not limited only to the lack of adequate
housing but it is also necessary to take into account a range of different factors, such as cultural,
social, political, social and also individual. In early 2020, the emergence and uncontrolled
spread of the new coronavirus occurred in most countries of the world. Slovenia declared the
COVID- 19 epidemic on 12 March 2020, following the declaration of a pandemic by World
Health Organization. A number of restrictive measures have therefore been taken to curb the
spread of the virus and maintain the health of the population. People's lives have suddenly
changed a lot, which can or will be able to lead to serious and long-term consequences for their
health, well- being and quality of life. In addition to its direct impact on physical health, jobs
and income, As mentioned above, homeless people are still a marginalized group, a group which
more attention should be paid to. It is obvious that the Covid-19 epidemic affected all residents
Some have lost their jobs, families or even their homes. What about the people who had not
been fortunate enough before that?
