The above definition encompasses those who are sharing housing as well as children <br /> awaiting foster placement. Neither of those groups is included in HUD's definition. As <br /> another example, the Department of Health and Human Services has used a definition that <br /> specifically includes "doubled-up" persons, and provides guidance on what constitutes <br /> doubled-up status:3 <br /> "Home/ess"persons are those who lack a fixed, regular, adequate nighttime residence, <br /> including persons whose primary nightfime residence is: a supervised public or private <br /> shelter designed to provide temporary living accommodations; a time-limited, non- <br /> permanent transitional housing arrangement for individua/s engaged in mental health <br /> and/or substance abuse treatment; or a public or private facility not designed for, or <br /> ordinarily used as, a regular sleeping accommodation. <br /> "Home/ess"also includes "doubled-up"—a residentia!status that places individuals at <br /> imminent risk for becoming homeless— defined as sharing another person's dwelling on <br /> a temporary basis where continued tenancy is contingent upon the hospitality of the <br /> primary/easeholder or owner and can be rescinded at any time without notice. <br /> 3 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration: Development of Comprehensive Drug/Alcohol and <br /> Mental Health Treatment Systems for Persons Who are Homeless(Initial Announcement), 2006. <br /> Rev. 2010/02/19 5 <br />
