Gives vibes of saying “unhoused” instead of homeless.
I feel like the affluent just love to invent new words to show the “others” that aren’t using it how backwards they are, and how the affluent are truly enlightened.

It's just so easy to mock terms and phrases of art, to spin up the general public.
People like Chris Rufo, who mine legal, bureaucratic, technical, etc. phrases, are trolls.
Someone who you generously take in now has a roof over their head but they have literally zero protections - you can argue with them tomorrow and be within your rights to throw them out.
Someone with nowhere at all to stay might die of the cold tonight.
Homelessness charities absolutely want to know which case you are in. They require different interventions with different priorities.
You miss my point so thoroughly, it can only be genius. I know that it's not true. My son's not homeless. The other guy implied it, because he can't come up with a logical test of who and who isn't homeless.
Your measurements of homelessness are dumb and not representative of the condition most people think of when they are thinking of homelessness.
It’s essentially the same word too:
“Un” == “less” “Home” == “house”
It’s just another example of the Euphemism Treadmill.
