Derived termsRelated termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Homelessness is the condition and social category of people without a regular house or dwelling because they cannot afford, do not desire, or are otherwise unable to maintain regular, safe, and adequate housing, or lack "fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence." The actual legal definition varies from country to country, or among different entities or institutions in the same country or region. The term homelessness may also include people whose primary night time residence is in a homeless shelter, in an institution that provides a temporary residence for individuals intended to be institutionalized, or in a public or private place not designed for use as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines a "chronically homeless" person as "an unaccompanied homeless individual with a disabling condition who has either been continuously homeless for a year or more, or has had at least four episodes of homelessness in the past three years."

If you ask a homeless person if they wanted the conservatives to be elected or the liberals, they wouldn't care. If you were to ask someone with a family and money and a job, they would have a strong opinion. How does the government affect wealthy people more? Asked by Saphire A - Thu Feb 19 22:55:11 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. I believe the reason that you can not comprehend the reason why is because you have never been homeless - which is a good thing. I work with the homeless, the unemployed, poor, disabled - and the truth of the matter is, they have bigger issues on their mind than what is liberalism or what is conservatism. When basic needs are unmet- people operate from a more primative level- seeking basic needs; shelter, food, and clothing. It is when not only basic needs are met, but emotional and other needs are met, that a person can begin dwelling on more abstract ideas, and look outward instead of inward. Tell me, when you are so cold, actually shivering, can you think of anything else?

My ex-husband became homeless two years ago and now he has not been seen for about 5 months. He was in Corpus Christi, Texas. Our daughters are worried about where is their dad. He is bipolar and schophrenic. Asked by pippi herndon - Tue Jul 6 12:53:40 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. You file a missing person report with the local police. You could canvass the local morgue, hospitals, mental hospitals and such and see if your husband is/was admitted under his name or admitted as a John Doe. If you can supply a photo and date of birth then that can only help. I am fearful since 5 months has gone by it may be very hard to track him down. Answered by Ranger4402 - Tue Jul 6 13:33:24 2010 Do you think homeless people should be allowed to have pet dogs?
Q. I sometimes walk the streets of downtown and see homeless people with pet dogs. I feel bad for the dogs because they always look sad. My view is that if a person is homeless and can't provide a good environment for their pet dog (let alone themselves), then they should not own a pet at all. Do you agree? Asked by LesYeux8 - Thu Aug 28 15:27:33 2008 - - 13 Answers - 0 Comments A. whats the point of NOT allowing it? Taking the dogs, and putting them in shelters, where they will just be euthanized? I'll be honest. Most homeless people care for their dogs better then themselves. That dog is ALL they have, their only family and friend. I have several homeless people in my area with dogs, and all the dogs look healthy. The people will go days without eating just so the dog can eat.
