FAQs
I am not a rough sleeper, will I still be considered homeless?
​
You don't have to be sleeping on the streets or not have a roof over your head to be considered homeless. You may be sleeping on a friend's sofa, in a car, staying in a hostel, or living in overcrowded or unsuitable accommodation.
