>>172Every state's online application system is a little different, with hers it was just a section where there was a drop-down box for the living arrangement or something like that, choices being rent, own paying mortgage, homeless, etc.
My friend is squatting in a foreclosed house with the home owner, and there's no lease so she is technically homeless. But even if there was a lease, they don't get filed into a database anywhere so there's no way for the state to check that.
