Homelessness or transience is a situation in which a person unwillingly does not have a long term residence. While such groups as nomadic cultures, travellers and migrant workers are also transient, this is through choice. Unwillingly homeless people may be found in all parts of the world in varying situations, sometimes due to natural disaster, political unrest, war, famine or personal misfortune.
In the 16th century in England, the state first tried to give housing to vagrants instead of punishing them, by introducing bridewells to take vagrants and train them for a profession. In the 18th century, these were replaced by workhouses but these were intended to discourage too much reliance on state help. These were later replaced by dormitory housing ("spikes") provided by local boroughs, and these were researched by the writer George Orwell. By the 1930s in England, there were 30,000 people living in these facilities. In the 1960s, the nature and growing problem of homelessness changed for the worse in England, with public concern growing. The number of people living "rough" in the streets had increased dramatically.
