Homelessness is dangerous. The term is often associated with people who sleep rough; however, it can include anyone who does not have a home (Royal College of Nursing, 2023). Homeless people include those whose accommodation is insecure, those facing eviction, people living in temporary accommodation, those squatting, people at risk of violence, those housed in property potentially damaging to their health and those who cannot afford their current accommodation.
