• In a shelter (family, domestic violence, youth shelter or transitional living program).
• In a motel, hotel or weekly rate housing.
• In a house or apartment with more than one family because of economic hardship or loss.
• In an abandoned building, a car, at a campground or on the street.
• With friends or family because you are a runaway or an unaccompanied youth.
