I always thought the change was made to attempt to be more neutral.
It’s the nature of progressive advocacy. They have to rebrand in hopes to influence public psychology.
Bum and hobo were kind of judgy. Homeless became the progressive nomenclature during the Reagan era. Then normal people like me still used it as a derogatory term judging the life decisions made by those fricking homeless people.
It’s my fault. Sorry.

Because Liberals are idiots and repeat what their leaders tell them to.

Unhoused sounds more dehumanizing to me than homeless

Because they have homes, just not in houses. They live in cars, tents, etc. They have regular home places.

Turning to euphemism to describe various human conditions can remove the humanity from that status.
George Carlin had a bit in the late '80s about that using the progression from "shell shock" to "post-traumatic stress disorder" to describe the same post-war condition as being a way of dehumanizing the people to suffer from it.
The more syllables you add the further you get away from the humanity.

Liberals are always messing with the language. It’s hard to keep up.
For the longest time, I was still using ‘redneck’ not realizing the new term was MAGA.

it's their perpetual gaslighting game of constantly changing what groups are called in order to keep ordinary people on the defensive for feeling as if they are not politically correct.

I call them “drug addicts”.

"Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it...
It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. Of course the great wastage is in the verbs and adjectives, but there are hundreds of nouns that can be got rid of as well. It isn't only the synonyms; there are also the antonyms. After all, what justification is there for a word which is simply the opposite of some other words? A word contains its opposite in itself. Take 'good,' for instance. If you have a word like 'good,' what need is there for a word like 'bad'? 'Ungood' will do just as well--better, because it's an exact opposite, which the other is not. Or again, if you want a stronger version of 'good,' what sense is there in having a whole string of vague useless words like 'excellent' and 'splendid' and all the rest of them? 'Plusgood' covers the meaning, or 'doubleplusgood' if you want something stronger still...In the end the whole notion of goodness and badness will be covered by only six words--in reality, only one word. Don't you see the beauty of that, Winston?"

Homeless people call themselves homeless. They don't give a frick about terminology used. They know what their situation is. The language of the left is driven to not offend certain groups, where they're so much more about words than actions. Feel bad for the homeless or the illegals? Let them live with you in your castle!
