The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has designated the construction of housing as an “Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce,” as well as leasing, property management and maintenance personnel. This is not a mandatory federal order; this is guidance from DHS that states can follow.
Details can be found in both the “Public Works and Infrastructure Support Services” and “Residential/Facilities and Services” sections of the guidance. Should you have questions about this list, please contact Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) at CISA.CAT@cisa.dhs.gov.
