“At issue is the different — and often conflicting — ways that federal agencies define homelessness and, therefore, eligibility for services. HUD defines as “literally homeless” any person living in a shelter or a place “not meant for human habitation.”
Other categories of eligibility include “imminent risk of homelessness”; “homeless under other federal statutes — but only if a person has moved twice in 60 days and has two or more disabilities”; and “fleeing/attempting to flee domestic violence.”
Young people outside these categories are not eligible to be assessed for HUD homelessness assistance.”
Without intervention, the homeless children and youth of today will become the chronically homeless who’ve been living on the street for years.
