论文摘要
在这一大流行期间，已经有前所未有的社区和地方政府努力减缓冠状病毒的传播，并保护我们的地方经济。这样的努力是加利福尼亚的Project Roomkey，它为2000多名弱势群体提供了紧急住房，但没有15,000个目标。预计无家可归的问题只会在大流行后变得更糟。考虑到这一点，我们从Project RoomKey等努力中借用了一种解决方案，该解决方案旨在改善这些努力，以有效地将住房分配给我们社区中未受到的住房。大流行与Project Roomkey一起阐明了基础供应需求不匹配，这为匹配机制提供了一个机会，以将住房选择分配给未受住房的方式，以最大化社会福利并最大程度地减少战略操纵的易感性。此外，我们认为这种自动解决方案将减少将住房分配给不受欢迎的人所需的资金和人员的数量。我们的解决方案不是旨在取代当前无家可归的住房分配解决方案，而是对它们进行改进。我们不能再推迟适当的无家可归者解决方案，现在的时间是有效解决方案的需求最可怕。
During this pandemic, there have been unprecedented community and local government efforts to slow down the spread of the coronavirus, and also to protect our local economies. One such effort is California's project Roomkey that provided emergency housing to over 2000 vulnerable persons but fell short of the set goal of 15,000. It is projected that the homelessness problem will only get worse after the pandemic. With that in mind, we borrow from efforts like project Roomkey and suggest a solution that looks to improve upon these efforts to efficiently assign housing to the unhoused in our communities. The pandemic, together with the project Roomkey, shed light on the underlying supply demand mismatch that presents an opportunity for a matching mechanism solution to assigning housing options to the unhoused in a way that maximizes social welfare and minimizes susceptibility to strategic manipulation. Additionally, we argue that this automated solution would cut down on the amount of funding and personnel required for the assignment of housing to unhoused persons. Our solution is not intended to replace current solutions to homeless housing assignments but rather improve upon them. We can not postpone a proper solution to homelessness anymore, the time is now as the need for an efficient solution is most dire.
