ANS: A, C
Literally homeless is described as individuals and families who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence and includes a subset for an individual who resided in an emergency shelter or a place not meant for human habitation and who is exiting an institution where he or she temporarily resided. The term “literally homeless” is not used to describe those lacking a family residence, living in a temporary living accommodation such as a hotel or recreational vehicle, or sleeping in an extended care facility or hospital.
