Legal Definitions - transient person

A transient person is someone who does not have a permanent home or legal residence in a particular area. This means that they do not have a fixed address and may move from place to place frequently.

For example, a person who lives in their car and travels from state to state would be considered a transient person. Another example would be someone who stays in temporary housing, such as a shelter or hotel, and does not have a permanent address.

Transient persons may have difficulty accessing certain services, such as voting or obtaining a driver's license, because they do not have a fixed address. They may also be more vulnerable to homelessness and other challenges associated with unstable housing situations.
