Notice this guy worked in that field and still refers to them as homeless?
Calling them "uNhOuSEd" is important only in the minds of those who want to try to seem morally superior. See also - LatinX
Homeless people couldn't give a single fuck about how someone refers to them
Source - was uNhOuSEd once
I'm not sure if you're referring to me or OP in your comment, but I have never worked with the homeless, I just worked at a place a block over from a shelter.
They sound exactly the same to me, except "unhoused" sounds like a PR term trying to clean up the word homeless, but they both bring up exactly the same images to me.
Yeah I wasn't referring to you, but I misread your comment and thought you worked with them
The sentiment is unchanged though
