definition: A homeless individual is someone who lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate place to live. Homelessness can result from various factors, including economic hardship, housing affordability issues, mental health challenges, substance abuse, or other circumstances that leave individuals or families without stable housing. Efforts by governments and organizations aim to address homelessness by providing shelter, support services, and housing options to help homeless individuals and families secure stable living arrangements.
