I just don't get the logic of it. It's not person first language and is in fact more dehumanizing than homeless person. Also they don't have a house or a home and the distinction isn't really relevant.
While logic isn't very important to them it does make it harder to bully people about it

Brianna's mom said despite the family's ongoing attempts to get her help for her addictions and mental health issues, their pleas were ignored in a system they said failed Brianna at every turn.
Neighbor youre her mom, you were supposed to be the help! That family can go frick itself. Even though, if you actually read the article, they shit on the bleeding-heart leaf policies, like that a 12 year old can decide to leave the looney bin or can just pick up crack pipes and "safe injection" kits at injection sites.
The mom did what every lazy parent does here, the moment the kid gets violent she pawned her off on the system and assumed that would all be well and good instead of parenting her (read: beating some sense into the girl)
Some months later, she became violent at home and her mom ended up in hospital. Her mom said with other children at home, she couldn't keep Brianna there if she was using. >Brianna was moved to a youth centre in Abbotsford, but ran away. She ended up living in a now-dismantled Abbotsford homeless camp. >She died inside her tent, her parents receiving the heartbreaking news in late August. >"I thought no, this isn't possible," her mom said through tears. >Despite the difficulties Brianna faced, her mom described her daughter as sweet and kind. The two still texted or spoke every day and her mom would visit her at the camp. >But the family said despite their love for Brianna and her love for them, it was not enough to stop the demons of addiction and mental illness that stole her childhood and ultimately her life.
I've noooticed in all these cases the parents, rather than parent their children, send them away to some group home that can't (in many cases legally as well as practically) from running away. The kid is too far from home to visit any of their known associates (so you can't ask them to help find the kid) and they're gone like a fart in the wind.
We would like to acknowledge that this hole is established on the traditional and vibrantly coloured land of Don Cherry. We recognize the many years of service and garishly coloured joy he has brought us here on Turtle Island. May we continue to celebrate the spirit of Don Cherry's land with respect and appreciation.
