==Definition==
* having no [[home]] or permanent place of residence
==Description==
'''Homelessness''' categorizes the condition of people without a regular dwelling because they are unable to acquire, maintain regular, safe, and adequate housing, or lack "fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence." The [[legal]] definition of "homeless" varies from country to country, or among [[different]] [[entities]] or [[institutions]] in the same country or region.
The term homeless may also include people whose primary night-time residence is in a homeless [[shelter]], a warming center, a domestic [[violence]] shelter or other ad hoc housing situation. [[Government]] homeless enumeration [[studies]] also include [[persons]] who [[sleep]] in a [[public]] or [[private]] place not [[designed]] for use as a regular sleeping accommodation for [[human being]]s.
*Problems faced by people who are homeless
The basic [[problem]] of homelessness is the [[human]] need for [[personal]] [[shelter]], [[warmth]] and [[safety]], which can be [[literally]] vital. Other basic [[difficulties]] include:
:personal [[security]], [[quiet]], and privacy, especially for [[sleeping]]
:safekeeping of bedding, clothing and possessions, which may have to be carried at all times
:hygiene and sanitary facilities
:cleaning and drying of clothes
:obtaining, preparing and storing [[food]] in quantities
:keeping contacts, without a permanent location or mailing address
:hostility and legal [[powers]] against urban vagrancy.
Homeless people face many [[problems]] beyond the lack of a safe and suitable [[home]]. They are often faced with many [[social]] disadvantages also, reduced access to [[private]] and [[public]] services and reduced access to vital necessities:
