not even technically. People who live in it are not homeless. In shelters, people have no homes, only a temporary shelter.

If you rent you're kinda in a similar situation. You may pay rent, but that only allows you to stay there for a contractual period of time. You might not pay at homeless shelters, but you still agree to follow the rules and can only stay for a contractual period of time.

You don't have to own a home to not be homeless. You also don't need to have to be allowed to stay there forever.
