as someone who was homeless just say homeless. don’t say unhoused, it’s stupid. None of us that are on the streets or were on the streets could give two shits what we were labelled. we all said homeless.
saying things like “rough sleeping” or “unhoused” are just labels made up by people who have never and will never experience what we experience and think they’re helping. the fact is most of us who were on the streets were helped by regular people on their own volition. Organizations and advocates were the LAST group to actually help and rarely, if ever, did.

Oh, cool. Until now I thought “rough sleeping” was just the British term for homeless (TIL).
