Etymology

The term 'houselessness' emerged in the late 20th century as a more inclusive and nuanced alternative to the term 'homelessness'. It highlights the lack of a physical structure to live in, rather than just the absence of a 'home'. The focus on 'houselessness' aims to address the systemic issues that contribute to the lack of housing security for individuals and families.
