Unhoused vs. homeless. Why the somewhat recent change and what’s the difference?

Question

In a lot of recent conversations & podcasts, I’ve heard in uptick in the use of unhoused to replace the term homeless. If unhoused is a more politically correct term, what makes it so?

I see it as another form of “double speak” to make it sound less harsh… just like how they changed ghetto to inner city and poor to poverty stricken/impoverished
