Homelessness, also known as houselessness or being unhoused or unsheltered, is the condition of lacking stable, safe, and functional housing. It includes living on the streets, moving between temporary accommodation with family or friends, living in boarding houses with no security of tenure,[1] and people who leave their homes because of civil conflict and are refugees within their country.
The legal status of homeless people varies from place to place. Homeless enumeration studies conducted by the government of the United States also include people who sleep in a public or private place that is not designed for use as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.Homelessness and poverty are interrelated. There is no standardized method for counting homeless individuals and identifying their needs; consequently, most cities only have estimated figures for their homeless populations.
Бездомность, также известная как бездомность или отсутствие жилья или защиты, является состоянием отсутствия стабильного, безопасного и функционального жилья. Это включает в себя жизнь на улице, перемещение между временными жилищами с семьей или друзьями, проживание в пансионатах без гарантий проживания и людей, которые покидают свои дома из-за гражданского конфликта и являются беженцами в своей стране.
