and related meanings.

3. Difference between house and home

4. House
A house is a building that functions as a home.
 Simple dwellings such as rudimentary huts of nomadic
tribes and shacks in shantytowns
 Complex, fixed structures of wood, brick, concrete or
other materials containing plumbing, ventilation and
electrical systems.

5. Areas of a house
 Roofing systems to keep precipitation such as rain from getting into the dwelling space.
 Doors or locks to secure the dwelling space and protect its inhabitants and contents from
burglars or other trespassers.
 One or more bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen or cooking area, and a living room
 A separate dining room, or the eating area may be integrated into another room
 A recreation room.
 Domestic animals such as chickens or larger livestock (like cattle) may share part of the
house with humans: a pen (In traditional agriculture-oriented societies)
The social unit that lives in a house is known as a household.

6. A typical "foursquare house"
 a staircase in the center of the
house,
 surrounded by four rooms,
 and connected to other sections of
the home (including in more recent
eras a garage).

7. Home
A home or domicile is a dwelling-place used as a
permanent or semi-permanent residence for an individual,
family, household or several families in a tribe.
It is often a house, apartment, or other building, or
alternatively a mobile home, houseboat, yurt or any other
portable shelter.

8. Need/importance of home

9.  Our homes say a lot about who we are and what we think is important in life.
 You do not have to be wealthy or have a large house to create a space that
constantly reminds you of your own deepest values and hopes.
 Home means sanctuary, the place we can rest, relax, enjoy time with friends, learn,
grow … and just be.
 Our homes say a lot about who we are and what we think is important in life.
 Homes typically provide areas and facilities for sleeping, preparing food, eating and
hygiene.
 Home is where the heart is but it goes deeper than that. Our connections to home
are basic threads in our lives that pop up automatically in casual conversation. We
use the word home to identify where we’re from (hometown), cheer on players who
represent us in sports (home teams), describe a level of comfort (at home), relate to
our national identity (homeland), and at the end of a vacation, name it as our
favorite next destination (“There’s no place like home.”).

11. Types of housing/accommodation
 Hut
 Nomadic tribes
 nursing home
 children's home/orphanage
 convent
 homestead (agricultural land and facilities) for domesticated animals
 Shacks found in slums and shanty towns
 Villas

12. Huts
 a primitive dwelling, constructed of various local materials
 built of readily available materials such as wood, snow, ice, stone, grass, palm leaves,
branches, hides, fabric, or mud using techniques passed down through the generations a
shape of a lower quality than a house (durable, well built dwelling)
 but higher quality than a shelter (place of refuge or safety) such as a tent
 is used as temporary or seasonal shelter or in primitive societies as a permanent
dwelling
 exist in practically all nomadic cultures
 Some are transportable and can stand most conditions of weather.

13. Hut in farm outside a village

14. Remains of a mud hut, with interior layers exposed. This hut was destroyed during a major earthquake.

15. Nomad
A nomad is a member of a community of people who lives in different
locations, moving from one place to another in search of grasslands for their
animals.
Among the various ways nomads relate to their environment, one can
distinguish
 the hunter-gatherer,
 the pastoral nomad owning livestock, or
 the "modern" peripatetic nomad.
As of 1995, there were an estimated 30–40 million nomads in the world.

16. Nursing Home
Nursing homes are a type of residential care that provide
around-the-clock nursing care for elderly people. Twenty-four-
hour nursing care is available.
Nursing homes will provide short-term rehabilitative stays
following a surgery, illness or injury which may require physical
therapy, occupational therapy or speech-language therapy.
Nursing homes offer other services such as planned activities
and daily housekeeping services.

17. Children's home/Orphanage
An orphanage is a residential institution devoted to
the care of orphans—children whose biological parents are
deceased or otherwise unable or unwilling to take care of them.
Biological parents, and sometimes biological grandparents, are
legally responsible for supporting children, but in the absence of
these, no named godparent, or other relatives willing to care for
the children, they become a ward of the state, and orphanages are
one way of providing for their care, housing and education.

18. Convent
A convent is either a community
of priests, religious brothers, religious sisters,
or nuns; or the building used by the
community, particularly in the Roman
Catholic Church.

19. The Convent of the Conceptionists in Ágreda founded by Venerable María de
Jesús (where her body rests incorrupt).

20. Homestead
A homestead originally meant a farmhouse and its adjacent outbuildings. By extension,
it can mean any small cluster of houses.
Homestead may refer specifically to:
 Homestead (unit): a unit of measurement equal to 160 acres
 Homestead principle: a legal concept that one can establish ownership of unowned
property through living on it
 Homestead exemption: (U.S. law), a legal program to protect the value of a residence
from expenses and/or forced sale arising from the death of a spouse
 Homesteading: a lifestyle of agrarian self-sufficiency as practiced by a modern
homesteader or urban homesteader

21. Under the homestead principle a farmer putting unowned land to use gains ownership over it.

22. Shacks
 A shack is a type of small, often primitive shelter or dwelling.
 Like huts, shacks are constructed by hand using available materials;
 however, whereas huts are usually rural and made of natural materials (mud, rocks,
sticks, etc.) shacks are generally composed of scavenged man-made materials like
abandoned construction debris, repurposed consumer waste and other useful discarded
objects that can be quickly acquired at little or no cost and fashioned into a small
dwelling.
 In areas of high population density and high poverty, shacks are often the most prevalent
form of housing; it is possible that up to a billion people worldwide live in shacks.
 Fire is a significant hazard in tight-knit shack settlements. Settlements composed mostly
or entirely of shacks are known as slums or shanty towns.

23. A large shack near Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

24. Slums in major cities
 A slum is a highly populated urban residential area consisting mostly of
closely packed, decrepit housing units in a situation of deteriorated or
incomplete infrastructure, inhabited primarily by impoverished persons.
 While slums differ in size and other characteristics, most lack reliable
sanitation services, supply of clean water, reliable electricity, law
enforcement and other basic services.
 Slum residences vary from shanty houses to professionally built
dwellings which, because of poor-quality construction or provision of
basic maintenance, have deteriorated.

25. Slum in São Paulo, Brazil

26. Slums abound in Cairo, Alexandria and other major cities of Egypt. This picture is from part
of Old Cairo. Between the buildings are streets with piles of solid waste.

28. Shanty towns
 A shanty town or squatter area is a settlement of improvised housing which is
known as shanties or shacks, made of plywood, corrugated metal, sheets of
plastic, and cardboard boxes.
 Such settlements are usually found on the periphery of cities, in public parks, or
near railroad tracks, rivers, lagoons or city trash dump sites.
 Sometimes called a squatter, informal or spontaneous settlement, a typical shanty
town often lacks adequate infrastructure, including proper sanitation, safe
water supply, electricity, hygienic streets, or other basic necessities to support
human settlements.
 Shanty towns are mostly found in developing nations, but also in some parts of
developed nations.

29. A shanty town in Jakarta, Indonesia

30. Shanty towns sometimes have an active informal economy, such as garbage sorting, pottery making, textiles,
and leather works. This allows the poor to earn an income. The above shanty town image is from Ezbet Al
Nakhl, in Cairo, Egypt, where garbage is sorted manually. Residential area is visible at the top of the image.

31. A shanty town near Cape Town, South Africa. These slums were built by the apartheid era government
to segregate people by color and ethnic origin. The above Khayelitsha Township is Africa's largest, with
shanty homes served with disorganized electrical lines, with one shed showing a car parked inside.

32. Shanty town along the Martin Pena Canal in Puerto Rico (1970s).

33. Chabolas a plomo - shanty town perched on the side of a steep mountain in Latin America.

35. Squats
Squatting is the action of occupying an abandoned or
unoccupied area of land or a building, usually residential, that
the squatter does not own, rent or otherwise have lawful
permission to use.
Author Robert Neuwirth suggested in 2004 that there were one
billion squatters globally. He forecasts there will be two billion by
2030 and three billion by 2050. Yet, according to Kesia Reeve,
"squatting is largely absent from policy and academic debate and is
rarely conceptualised, as a problem, as a symptom, or as a social or
housing movement."

36. Pavement dwellers
Pavement dwellers refers to dwellings built on the
footpaths/pavements of city streets, which use the walls or
fences which separate building compounds from the
pavement and street outside. Materials include cloth,
corrugated iron, cardboard, wood, plastic, and sometimes
also bricks or cement.

37. Homelessness
Homelessness is the condition of people without a permanent dwelling, such
as a house or apartment. People who are homeless are most often unable to
acquire and maintain regular, safe, secure and adequate housing.
The legal definition of homeless varies from country to country, or among
different jurisdictions in the same country or region. The term homeless may also
include people whose primary night-time residence is in a homeless shelter,
a domestic violence shelter, long-term residence in a motel, a
vehicle, squatting, cardboard boxes, a tent city, shanty town structures made of
discarded building materials.

38. According to the UK homelessness charity Crisis, a home is not just a physical
space: it also provides roots, identity, security, a sense of belonging and a place of
emotional wellbeing. United States government homeless enumeration studies also
include people who sleep in a public or private place not designed for use as a
regular sleeping accommodation for human beings. There are a number of
organizations who provide help for the homeless.
In 2005, an estimated 100 million (1 in 65 at the time) people worldwide were
homeless and as many as 1 billion people live as squatters, refugees or in temporary
shelter, all lacking adequate housing. In Western countries, the large majority of
homeless are men (75–80%), with single males particularly overrepresented.

39. Conclusion
 The social issue is of ensuring that members of society have a home in which to
live, whether this is a house, or some other kind of dwelling, lodging, or shelter.
Many governments have one or more housing authorities, sometimes also called a
housing ministry, or housing department.
 More generally, "home" may be considered to be a geographic area, such as a
town, village, suburb, city, or country.
 Transitory accommodation in a treatment facility for a few weeks is not normally
considered permanent enough to replace a more stable location as 'home'.
 In 2005, 100 million people worldwide were estimated to be homeless.
