title: No one at home.
abstract: The typical image most I people have of a I homeless person is of a single, middle aged man, Irish or Scottish and a heavy drinker!' This description can be extended to make him someone who skippers (sleeps rough) and lives in a cardboard box, a common but misleading image. My purpose here is to describe the range of homelessness, and, hopefully, stimulate interest. To paint as detailed a picture as possible, I will break with my working practice and describe clients and problems in groups.
