Johnstone et al. (2016, p.421) identify homelessness as "a significant and worldwide problem". Whilst homelessness is often associated with "sleeping rough" (Ministry of Housing, Communities, & Local Government, 2018), UK legislation (Housing Act, 1996) identifies individuals as homeless if they do not have the legal right to occupy habitable accommodation (non-statutory homelessness). The current paper refers to "individuals experiencing homelessness" (IEH) in relation to "non-statutory" homelessness and individuals who do not meet "priority need" legislative criteria and therefore are not legally entitled to housing.
