  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.

  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.

  Given how some states cook the books (eg, Ireland), I expect its even higher.

  In Ireland you can be homeless but not counted if you stayed/stay somewhere precarious. It’s exhausting how much attention we have to pay.
