10. What is homelessness?
Being homeless means not having a decent, secure home that you can afford where you fell safe, can work and fulfil your potential. It can mean that you do not have a roof over your head and have to sleep on the street. Or, it can mean that you have nowhere to go and are staying with friends or in temporary accommodation such as a bed and breakfast hotel. So, you may have a roof over your head but you are still homeless. People in these circumstances are often called ‘hidden homeless people’.
