Good morning, NAMES I am trying, seriously, not to foot-fault on the minefield of politically correct terminology. Try as I might, I can’t still get it right. Apparently, people no longer are homeless; they now are “houseless” (because wherever it is they live, it’s still their home) or “people without homes.” We’re doing better than vagrancy but, honestly, is this last step necessary? Sadly, I fear we are spending more time debating the correct terminology than solving the problem.
