Homelessness is a somewhat broad category though. There's lots of people couch-surfing between friends and their car. They're also in a very different position from people who are sleeping rough.

I only experienced traditional rough sleeping homelessness once when my "house" (my van) was towed and I had to sleep in an hostile architecture bus stop bench that had ridges between each "seat" area. Otherwise, I was technically "homeless"/vanliving in SV from about 2010-2019.
Van is still a home, isn’t it?
The word home can apply to a van. I also know people who are considered unhoused/homeless whose home is a van.
van is a home if you have your stuff in it, live in it, and enjoy moving around, this does not make you homeless, sorry. is a home on wheels and can be very comfortable should you decide so.
I already said home can apply to a van. We have no argument there.
yes, sorry, my bad, just dont get it why comment got downvoted. no harm was intended.
