    These categories include those sleeping rough, people in emergency accommodation, and “homeless people living temporarily in conventional housing with family and friends”.

    I think a lot of people hear these numbers and picture people sleeping outside in the street. But oftentimes that’s not the case. I wanted to mention this because a lot of important context is lost when only looking at these one dimensional measures.

    It’s obviously a problem that anyone doesn’t have a permanent and stable home. However, the problems and solutions for people sleeping in the street vs those living with a friend/family are often different.
