Section A: Housing Experiences


We want to start by asking about the places you’ve stayed and your experiences with homelessness.

By homeless we mean that you had a period of time in your life when you:

  • Stayed in an emergency shelter for people who are homeless,

  • Stayed in a Transitional Living Program or other residential program for people who are homeless that provides long-term services and a place to stay,

  • Stayed outside or in places that are not meant for sleeping (such as a bus terminal or abandoned building), or

  • Stayed with friends or other people because you had no other place to stay.


History of Homelessness


A1. Over your entire life, including right now, about how many times have you been homeless?

1 time [ ] 01

2 times [ ] 02

3 times [ ] 03

4 or more times [ ] 04


A2. Over your entire life, including right now, about how many nights in total have you been homeless?

Section B: Where You Stay

Housing History Series


The next questions ask about the places you have stayed in the past 12 months, since [current date minus 12 months]. This includes times when you were in a shelter or residential program for people who are homeless or homeless in an unsheltered location (for example outside, on the street, in a car, bus terminal or abandoned building).


For each place that you have stayed, we will ask you about when you started and stopped staying there and what kind of a place it was.


We will ask you to think backwards in time – from last night until [current date minus 12 months].


B1a. Where did you stay last night? If the place has a name please tell us the name.


________________ [open ended, tag response as: name situation #a, used in later items. If B1a is left blank, pipe in “the place you stayed last night” for B2a through B11a.]

Housing History Loop:

Note the questions asked in the loop are (nearly) identical to B1a – B11a

[B1b begins Housing History Loop: First turn through loop is B1b – B11b and occurs if B11a = 1 (stayed somewhere else in past 12 months). The loop is repeated again (B1c-B11c) if B11b = 1 (stayed somewhere else since RA). The loop continues to be repeated until B11# = 0 with a maximum of 3 times through the loop (ending with B11d). Thus, we capture up to 4 living situations in the housing history series.]
