Runaways Clause Samples

Runaways. Children or youth who have run away from home and live in runaway shelters, abandoned buildings, the street, or other inadequate accommodations will be considered homeless, even if their parents have provided and are willing to provide a home for them. In general, if school-age, unwed mothers or expectant mothers are living in homes for unwed mothers, and they have no other available living accommodations, they will be considered homeless. However, if they are staying in such a home only temporarily to receive specific health care or other services and intend to move to other adequate accommodations, they will not be considered homeless.
