Preferred term

homelessness and health in the United States  

Definition

  • Homelessness, according to the Stewart B. McKinney Act of 1994, involves an individual without an immovable sufficient nighttime residence. To be homeless, however, means more than to lack a domicile; it is a symptom of personal and societal disaffiliation. [Source: Encyclopedia of Health & Aging; Homelessness and Health in the United States]
