a) temporarily living in rooms or homes meant for fewer individuals.
b) permanently living in a house near relatives or friends.
c) sleeping in a bedroom that has two beds or bunks.
d) living in a park or public area with more than one other individual.

Explanation:

Define the term "doubled-up"

Under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, "doubled-up" refers to individuals sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason.

Evaluate the options

• Option A describes sharing housing temporarily due to lack of space/accommodation, which aligns with the definition of sharing housing of others due to hardship.
• Option B describes permanent living, which contradicts the temporary/unstable nature of homelessness.
• Option C refers literally to sharing a bedroom with two beds, which is not the legal definition.
• Option D describes living in public spaces, which is categorized under unsheltered living rather than "doubled-up."

• (B) Permanently living in a house near relatives or friends.
• (C) Sleeping in a bedroom that has two beds or bunks.
