Housing crisis definition

Housing crisis means a situation where a person is experiencing homelessness, a lack of adequate or safe housing, or is in imminent danger of homelessness or lack of adequate or safe housing.
Housing crisis means that the client has inadequate or inappropriate dwellings. Note that the figures can equal over 100% as multiple reasons can apply. Note that these values are at significant variation to conventional wisdom on the causes of homelessness, which seem to be often based on the perception of effects of homelessness rather than the cause (e.g., drug and alcohol abuse).
