    Unhoused? Is it suddenly wrong think to say homeless, did I miss another one?

      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.
