The idea of ​​homelessness is not an easily characterized term. While the normal individual understands the essential concept of wandering, analysts in the sociological field have linked conflicting definitions to the concept of homelessness, rightly so as the thought implies a more comprehensive measurement of the peculiar meaning of a lonely person without living arrangements. Homelessness represents a continuum that ranges from the disappearance of a permanent safe place to poor lifestyles and housing conditions. According to Wolch et al. (1988), homelessness is not an unexpected experience, but rather is the culmination of a long process of investment difficulties, disconnection, and social disengagement that has affected an individual or family. Furthermore, states of vagrancy can occur in floating structures, such as street housing, improvised living in safe houses, or the help of administrative associations such as soup kitchens and the Salvation Army. The homeless are defined as regularly poor and, at times, rationally ill people who are unable to maintain a place to live and, as a result, may regularly rest in avenues, parks, and so on (Kenyon 1991).

It is only through further enthusiastic liberal methodologies that we will finally work to kill vagrancy (Campbell-Pierce, n.d.). Works Cited Meanwell, Emily.
