2006 - Chronic status is determined using the HUD definition, which is an individual with a disabling condition who has been homeless for at least one year or, four or more times in the last three years.

** Long term homeless (LTH) is the definition adopted by the ND Interagency Council on Homelessness, which is an individual or a family with a disabling condition who has been homeless continuously for at least one year or more than four times in the last three years. The ICH definition does not exclude people who are currently living “doubled up” with friends/family.
