| Code | Description | Definition |

| 00 | Previously Homeless/Not Homeless (Does NOT send to state)
| Student's Primary Night Time Residence has yet to be determined. Student's record is excluded from state reporting until this value is known. |
| 01 | Shelters and transitional housing | Temporary accommodation for homeless individuals and families, as a step to permanent housing. Residents of transitional housing are considered homeless until they move into permanent housing. Transitional housing programs may last up to 24 months, provide housing in addition to wraparound services, and typically require participants to pay a portion of their housing costs based on a sliding scale. |
| 02 | Doubled-up | This means sharing the housing of other persons due to economic hardship, loss of housing, or similar reasons. |
| 03 | Hotels/Motel | Children, youth, and unaccompanied youth who are temporarily living in hotels and motels |
| 04 | Unsheltered | Children, youth, or unaccompanied youth who live in abandoned buildings or apartments, bus and train stations, campgrounds, cars, parks, public spaces, trailer parks, children abandoned in hospitals, and children and youth who live in **substandard or inadequate housing. Unsheltered includes children and youth who are living in substandard or inadequate housing, including trailer homes that are "inadequate." These housing situations do not easily fit into any category and are judged on a case-by-case basis by the district homeless liaison. |

Notes:
Users may not save a Homeless record for a student if the Primary Night Time Residence is not populated. If a student's Night Time Residence is currently unknown, select 00: Unknown - do not send record to WISE. This allows the user to create a record for the student while the residence status is pending.
