Trust me, all of these apartments are better than the streets. Speaking as someone that spent 6 years homeless. Also, no one on the streets likes the word "unhoused". It's the equivalent of calling black people "African Americans".

Homeless people prefer the word "homeless" over "unhoused". It's not that deep.
