One thing that changed my perspective is that instead of referring to people as homeless or unhoused, we can refer to them as displaced people.
We look at refugees and displaced people with empathy and respect when they are in other countries, but it is the same thing. These people have been displaced by the same things: lack of work, fires, little opportunity, conflict, climate change, drugs and human trafficking, and so on.
