HUD Definition of Homeless

For your convenience and guidance, we have included a resource document from the National Alliance to End Homelessness called "Changes in the HUD Definition of Homeless."

A link can be found to the right of this blog under Definitions Related to Eligibility.

This is an extremely helpful guide that delineates specifically how homelessness is defined:  4 categories, eligibility for permanent supportive housing, etc.  On pages 3-6 there are tables contrasting the former and new definitions.  Furthermore, the tables include a column detailing the required documentation to substantiate homelessness (chronic or otherwise.)

Please take the time to familiarize yourselves with this resource.
