I think it's supposed to be that every homeless person is part of a group of charming misfits who have become each other's chosen family and thus they already have a home. https://t.co/qrL6nMeq8Y  — Now on Threads! (@agraybee) August 14, 2023ALT
Personally I think "homeless" is better because it's inherently tragic. "Unhoused" sounds coldly economic.  — Now on Threads! (@agraybee) August 14, 2023ALT

Ok but there really is a difference - unhoused is a subset of homeless. Couch surfers and long-term guests on someone's futon are homeless, but not unhoused. Tent City residents, shelter residents, people living in cars etc etc are a much more vulnerable group of homeless people than those who are housed, just not in their own permanent space.

Ftr anyone not on a lease is in a bureaucratic sense (i.e. the sense the cops and politicians mean by it) homeless. This post is correct that it's an important distinction and they're not just synonyms, unhoused = no permanent shelter, homeless = no legal claim to exist where you rest your head at night

If you're on an illegal sublet or couchsurfing or living with a partner off the lease, congrats, you're homeless

Something I'd like to hammer home is that people often think of homelessness & unhousedness as a condition that means no rent, but this is nearly never true long-term. Illegal carparks get you ticketed or shaken down by the cops, same with a tent under a bridge or by the railroad tracks, and "illegal sublet" is itself a tremendous category that often describes people paying more than the market rate due to a history of criminalization, bureaucratic fuckups, lack of citizenship, or all of the above
