    What’s with the wording of this title? “Unhoused people” instead of “Homeless”/“Homeless people”

      It’s like the difference between calling someone wittless and uneducated.

      One implies that’s just how the person is, the other implies a failing of society/family.

      I like the word unhoused, it implies they should just be housed if they are homeless. Everyone should be housed, even if they don’t own a home
