Skid Row denizens are often referred to as WINOS, a term derived from the acronym 'W.I.N.O.' which stands for 'Without Income, Necessities, or Occupation'. These individuals are typically homeless and living in poverty, often resorting to alcohol and drugs to cope with their situation. They are commonly found in urban areas, particularly in Skid Row districts, where they can find shelter and access to services.
