Shelters are defined by their mandated expected length of stay, regardless of practice. Short-term shelters include shelters whose expected length of stay is less than three months, and typically provide individual beds to residents, as opposed to separate apartments or units. Long-term shelters include shelters whose expected length of stay is three months or longer, and typically provide residential units (e.g., apartments) to residents.

Note 4

An admission refers to the official acceptance of a resident into the shelter with the allocation of a bed, child’s bed, crib, bedroom or bedroom unit, or apartment. The total number of admissions is based on all admissions for a 12-month reference period and includes those who may have been admitted more than once. Each shelter visit is counted as a separate admission. For example, the same person being admitted to a shelter three times in a year would count as three admissions.
