[Vocabulary] Homeless = person without a home?

[naweewra]

Hello,

Can we use "homeless" as a noun to refer to a particular person without a home?

He is a homeless.

Thank you.

"Homeless" is used as a noun in the plural. There are programs to help the homeless.

But in your sentence, we would say "he is homeless." Or "he is a homeless person."

We'd do the same in BrE.
