Michigan has defined Homeless fields that are unique to the state of Michigan. Further information on these fields is described below. For information on all other fields, please see the Homeless article.

Homeless students are defined as:

  • Individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence
  • Share housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason
  • Living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations
  • Living in emergency or transitional shelters
  • Abandoned in hospitals

Children and youth (including runaway youth or unaccompanied youth) who live with relatives or friends due to being homeless.
14Hotel/Motel
Children and youth living in hotels/motels due to a lack of alternative adequate accommodations.
15UnshelteredChildren and youth living in abandoned buildings, campgrounds and vehicles, space not meant for habitation, trailers or FEMA trailers, cars, bus and train stations, and abandoned in the hospital. Unsheltered may include substandard or inadequate housing that does not easily fit into any category as it is not governed by a specific definition and is judged on a case-by-case basis. An inadequate dwelling may shelter but it is not adequate housing.
