    I work with a nonprofit that works closely with children in this circumstance, and yes, it does make a huge difference to the individuals involved.

    Having it be understood and acknowledged that this is something we are going through, and not who we are gives a healthy framing for families to lift themselves up…and not be “homeless people.”

      I see absolutely no difference whatsoever between the two terms. Even stigma wise. Being homeless isn’t a good thing, stop trying to make it sound nice unless you want people to think it’s nice and ignore it
