Intervention practices for people experiencing homelessness have long been practices of social control. In recent years, care approaches have been superimposed on asylum practices (Aranguiz & Fecteau, 2000; Astier, 2007; Paperman & Laugier, 2011; Tronto, 1993). Among these, proximity practices stand out in the creation of significant intervention relationship with homeless people (Fontaine et al., 2019). However, in the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the shutdown of services and outbreaks, close relationships have been strained. From the Fall of 2020 until Spring 2021, new super structures have emerged to meet the needs of the homeless people that could no longer be met for various reasons, among others related to the pandemic. Reminiscent of the forms of asylum care from another century, these devices are drastically different from local intervention practices. At the same time, care practices also tend to be less and less recognized and are even sometimes replaced. This article is intended to reflect on how the pandemic has affected community intervention practices for PSI.
