[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you asked a homeless person if they are unhoused they probably wouldn't have the intellectual capacity to understand it's the new term for homeless, and probably answer no.

Just like if you housed them in St. Elizabeth's, they wouldn't know the difference between there and an apartment.

The prefix un and suffix less mean the same. House and home have the same meaning.  It's that simple.  Unhoused is the same as homeless.

I can't imagine a homeless person using unhoused in a sentence.[/quote]

Seriously it sounds like you do not know many homeless/ unhoused people. I have. Many of them are brilliant. There are many homeless/ unhoused people now due to real estate affordable home crisis, being homeless could happen to anyone.[/quote]

If they were brilliant they’d be able to make rent.

Drugs, alcohol and mental problems are why they are that way[/quote]

Mental illness and addiction issues don’t mean people can’t understand basic words or know where they are. Homeless =/= unintelligent. I’m appalled at your attitude toward those less fortunate than you. [/quote]

You’ve obviously never spent time in an inner city emergency room :roll:

Tell me how much you donate before you get sanctimonious love[/quote]
