Homelessness in Whitewater

What is Homelessness?

According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as well as the Legal Information Institute, the definition of homelessness includes four broad categories: 1
  • People who do not have a regular, adequate nighttime residence and/or are staying in an emergency shelter, transitional housing, or anywhere else where they can temporarily reside
  • Individuals or families who are about to lose their primary nighttime residence (may include motel or other housing)
  • Families with children or unaccompanied youth who are unstably housed and likely to continue in that state
  • Individuals and families who are fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence or any other dangerous or life-threatening conditions related to violence
