Yet in nearly all of this, as in so much of the housing literature, homelessness is usually treated as an objective and objectifiable phenomena, within the positivist tradition of social enquiry. We argue that the definition of homelessness in Britain has changed over the last 30 years as vested interests have struggled to impose their particular definition on policy debates and to push the homelessness issue as they define it either higher up or lower down the policy agenda.
