Homeless

Being homeless can mean living on the streets, but you can also be homeless if you have a place to stay.

You can be considered to be homeless if you're:

• sleeping rough on the streets

• staying temporarily with a friend or family or 'sofa surfing'

• living with your family in temporary accommodation

• living in a B&B squatting in a property.

You could also be considered homeless if you're able to stay at home but are unsafe if do because you're being hurt or abused.
