Houseless

• An alternative term to homeless, often employed when trying to convey a sense of belonging to one's community despite not having a home or permanent shelter. While not a legally formalized term, it can be used to talk more specifically about a person's situation and is often considered a more dignified, less stigmatized expression in certain contexts.
