Preferred term

hidden homelessness  

Definition

  • Concerns for the visible and invisible homeless and the causes of their estrangement from society have been actively with us from biblical times to the present day. We have come to know that our understanding of “hidden” homelessness, and its personal and social pain and suffering, is anchored in our ways of “seeing” each other.
