WHAT IS HOMELESSNESS?
 Homelessness is the condition of lacking stable, safe, and
adequate housing. The definition of homelessness differs from
country to country, with some countries yet to have any definition in
place. People can be categorized as homeless if they are:
 living on the streets (primary homelessness);
 moving between temporary shelters, including houses of friends,
family, and emergency accommodation (secondary homelessness);
and
 living in private boarding houses without a private bathroom or
security of tenure (tertiary homelessness).
 have no permanent house or place to live safely.
WHAT IS WORLD DAY OF HOMELESS?
 Every October 10th, World Homeless Day brings individuals
together to find ways to change the lives of homeless people in their
community. It’s also a time to draw attention to the needs of the
homeless on a local level.
 Approximately 150 million people around the world don’t have a
home. This equals 2 percent of the world’s population.
 Because of the complexity of homelessness, some experts believe the
issue will never be solved. Others believe a great place to start is right in
your community. It’s also important to understand the causes of
homelessness. The four primary causes include lack of affordable
housing, unemployment, poverty, and low wages. Those who have a
mental health disorder but lack the necessary services also often become
homeless. For women, domestic violence is a leading cause of
homelessness.
