Houseist; houseism
•Prejudice, stereotyping, antagonism or discrimination against unhoused/homeless people.
•The material or idealogical discrimination against unhoused/homeless people.
• I coined this term to describe my lived experiences of being discriminated as a homeless/unhoused person.
• Just as saneism is a subset of ableism, houseism is a subset of classism.
• Homeism/homeist was created by a PhD researcher— not by our community.
• I’ve spoken with many other unhoused/homeless/houseless people who said this term was helpful to them
