cMcKinney-Vento definition of homelessness: living on the street, living in a shelter, living in a single room occupancy hotel, temporarily staying with friends or family, or living in a car. A person is categorized as homeless if that person lacks a fixed, regular, adequate night-time residence or has a steady night-time residence that is (1) a supervised publicly or privately operated shelter designed to provide temporary living accommodation, (2) an institution that provides a temporary residence for persons intended to be institutionalized, or (3) a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings (eg, in an automobile or under a bridge; Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. §11301, et seq; 1987).
