    Unhoused is a more politically correct term. But the literature typically distinguishes between unsheltered and homeless. I honestly don’t like the term unhoused because it blurs the line between those two categories. I spent like one semester doing a research project that involved homelessness.

      I’m sorry, I’m not very much into political correctness, it very much has a better than thou vibe to it for me from people that typically don’t do anything to actually solve the issue.

      When you’re homeless I don’t think you care much if someone calls you unhoused and now somehow things are better? No, you’re still in the shit.

      I think people should spend more time on actual sustainable solutions and less time on trying to change how we talk.
