Is 'homeless' not ok to say anymore? Genuinely asking, not being a shitbird.
27expanding on Prettybunnys comment, I don't feel its derogatory to say homeless, I feel saying unhoused emphasis the main problem for unhoused people.
15There is an effort to change the language used to try to remove some stigma.
Homeless implies they don’t have a home through some fault of theirs whereas unhoused helps inform that it’s a failure of society.
Like saying someone who is addicted to heroin and needs help is “sick” rather than an “addict” because of the stigma around the word.
“Homeless” has stigma and stigma can create barriers where none need exist.
