Thank you Jocelyne, I think this is the most appropriate expression. You have been a great help.

This is the text in which the term "sans domicile proche" is used.
Un phénomène inédit s’est même développé avec les « sans domicile proche », ces cadres qui, grâce au TGV et aux compagnies aériennes à bas coûts, continuent à travailler dans leur pays d’origine tout en résidant dans un pays voisin où ils ont installé leur famille

I agree. The context is too vague. It could mean 'homeless', but it could also mean 'someone who doesn't live nearby'.

I entirely agree with Sue, especially since it seems to be badly spelled!

The exact context, please. The full sentence and possibly those before and after would be useful in finding the best solution.
