How many people were homeless in ancient rome?

In ancient Rome, estimates suggest that around one-third of the population, which could be as high as a million people at its peak, lived in poverty, and many of these individuals were homeless or lived in inadequate conditions. The exact number of homeless individuals is difficult to determine, but the vast urban population and the social structure of the time contributed to significant homelessness. Many sought shelter in public buildings, on the streets, or in makeshift accommodations. Additionally, social welfare measures, such as grain distributions, were implemented to help the impoverished population.
