Doesn't homeless imply its society's fault too?
Perhaps to some people, but to me it does sound like a homeless person just happens to be without.
Whereas an unhoused person has been let down by whoever is responsible for ensuring people are housed.
I dont see how. If anything, its just a matter of time until you see houseless as being their fault. Because the baggage is something you (and society in general) is adding. Its not implicit in the word itself.
I've been using it a couple of years now and I'm not victim blaming yet.
But I guess "a matter of time" is pretty open ended.
I tell you what though, it's a personal choice, so you keep saying homeless if you like.
