This seems to be something people don’t always give second thought to. When people talk about the homeless, the first things thought about are images of people on busy city streets in rusty clothes waiting around near allies. In there, the answer is quite static, because it can be I guess. But if that’s the case, change the setting and that changes too. In the places where I’ve lived, people often needed that mapped out. Where are they known in your rural locales?

      What town hall in a rural area? What kind of unicorn rural areas do you have over there?

        I would imagine the act of losing one’s home doesn’t cease to be possible just because the state of actually not having a home is deadlier for part of the year. Hard times are hard times no matter the environment, no? With having a roof over your head not necessarily freeing one of that status, as shown by the fact some go to abandoned buildings, albeit in rural areas, the fact that it depends on more things inspires the original question. That in turn doesn’t mean rural homeless don’t exist, and the issue of awareness in part inspired me to ask.
