Unaccompanied Homeless Youth Eligibility

I am looking for guidance on identifying unaccompanied homeless youth. How do you differentiate between unaccompanied and unaccompanied and homeless.

        This was helpful as I just had conversation with admin about a student who is living with boyfriend and family. She has strained relationship with parents and admin say she does not fall under unaccompanied unless family says they kicked her out or something similar. If she voluntarily leaves the home then she does not qualify. What are your thoughts?
