Temporary accommodation refers to housing that is provided for individuals or families who need a place to stay for a short period. This type of accommodation is often used by people facing emergencies, such as those who have lost their homes due to natural disasters or domestic violence. It can include options like hostels, motels, or even government-provided shelters. The goal of temporary accommodation is to offer a safe and stable environment while individuals or families work on finding a more permanent living situation. Support services may also be available to help residents access resources like job training or counseling, making the transition to permanent housing smoother.
