Are residents officially deemed to be homeless when they go into direct provision and the emergency reception and orientation centres? At what stage do they become homeless? Is it when they leave those centres?
In respect of integration, is there no system of integration the moment people arrive in the reception centres or the emergency orientation centres? Is integration not a part of their assimilation?
