Preferred Language Guide - Person First
People experiencing homelessness are individuals first with unique personalities, strengths and challenges. No one wants to be lumped into a stereotypical group as though a generality can adequately or accurately describe one's individuality. For this reason, we use "person first language" when discussing the topic. We invite you to also use person centric language when describing individuals experiencing homelessness whether communicating verbally or in writing. This approach will help us recognize all people as individuals first and will show all people respect.
People first means that we describe or mention the person first...then use a descriptor – people experiencing homelessness or someone who is unsheltered or unhoused. This is a good idea when talking about people experiencing any challenge (health challenges, developmental disabilities, financial difficulties, etc.).
