The COVID pandemic impacted service delivery. To ensure the safety of participants, staff, and volunteers, in-person service delivery was halted for a time. Remote service delivery was initiated via telephone or internet. For those with mobility or childcare challenges, we have found that remote service delivery has been a benefit.Bayaud began a new partnership with the City of Denver to provide staffing and mobile laundry services at temporary homeless shelters as well as custodial services at hotels for unhoused persons who had tested positive for COVID-19 and needed respite. These new contracts prompted us to launch Bayaud Works, to create new jobs for our constituents, provide training for future employment, and generate revenue to support Bayaud programming and general operations.”
