Please note that the SHS also assesses homelessness in the broader context of housing difficulties, in addition to the narrower self-assessed definition used in previous sweeps (whether respondent has lost their home with no alternative accommodation to go to). The broader definition includes experiencing any of the housing difficulties listed in the table above. Table 4.48 to Table 4.52 use the narrow definition of homelessness while the broader definition is used in Table 4.53 to Table 4.57.
