socioeconomic references

poor / poverty: Seek to avoid references to “the poor” or “poor people.” Use “low income,” “people living at the poverty level,” “people living in poverty.” The poverty level in the U.S. is the income level deemed insufficient for a family or individual to have essential items for living. 

homeless / homelessness: Avoid using “the homeless.” Use constructions such as “people without homes,” “homeless people, “people without housing.” While some advocates prefer the term “unhoused,” keep in mind that people without homes might have some form of housing—preferably, use “unhoused” only when people use it for themselves or an organization uses it.
“Homeless shelter” is acceptable for a building that provides temporary refuge for those without homes.
