解答

意味:
英辞郎によると、
【形】
住居のない、宿なしの
なお、英辞郎や他の英日辞書のみならず、私の知る限りの英英辞書でも形容詞としての定義しか掲載されていません。しかし、問題の見出しのように近年の米テレビドラマ等では "the homeless" と同様にtheがついて "the unhoused" という名詞として使用されています。
また、homelessは「何かが不足(~less)している」という意味なので差別的であることからunhousedに変わっているようです。

 

Answer

According to Merriam-Webster:
not having a dwelling place or shelter: HOMELESS
Note: Although every dictionary I have checked only defines "unhoused" as an adjective, I have noticed more cases in which it is used as a noun, as in the case of the above headline.

 

Examples

  1. Federal Program to Address the Unhoused
  2. Myself, my service dog, one other OT student, and our facility lead supervisor started at this facility with the hopes of exploring and laying the groundwork for OT’s role when working with the unhoused.
  3. Unhoused.org is a social impact startup focused on using technology to help the unhoused.
  4. The use of the term "Unhoused", instead, has a profound personal impact upon those in insecure housing situations.
  5. CRIMINALIZING THE UNHOUSED: ‘MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE ENOUGH FOR THEM IN OUR CITY SO THEY WILL WANT TO MOVE ON DOWN THE ROAD.’
