- Lives in a car, park, abandoned building, public or private place not designed for, or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.
- Lives temporarily in a trailer park or camping area due to the tack of adequate living accommodations.
- Lives “doubled-up” with another family, due to loss of housing, stemming from financial problems.
- Is abandoned at a hospital.
- Resides in a home for school-aged, unwed mother or mother-to-be, if there are no other available living accommodations.
- Is awaiting foster care in limited circumstances but does not include placement in a foster family, foster family agency or group home.
- Is placed by the state in an emergency shelter due to lack of alternative housing.
- Is an abandoned, runaway or throwaway youth or migratory child living in any of the circumstances described above.
