Maybe I'm on the autism spectrum but I genuinely cannot comprehend how unhoused is any different from homeless in any way, connotationally or otherwise. Is it because of the "Home is where the heart is" adage that people are arguing that they have homes but not housing? I'm so confused

Its supposed to be 'people first' wording. If you put the person first they get healed. Thats why they changed homeless to being offensive. That was what I was told when I asked why homeless is a slur now.
