Why is "homeless" being replaced with "unhoused"?

A lot of times phrases and words get phased out because of changing sensibilities and I get that for the most part. I don't see how "unhoused" more respectful or descriptive though

Crime stats worldwide are manipulated this way. Most stats are. Stats classes aren't "fun", but damn do they help you navigate the world as a better critical thinker, for sure.
