Shelter is one of the most important component of human life. One of the main reason for homelessness are the migrants in search of employment, financial upliftment, education etc. Homeless are the unstable population in almost every aspect of survival. They can be defined as individuals insufficient to fulfill the basic necessities of shelter due to economic imbalance.
