Wet shelters save lives. If someone is forced to freeze to death in their car because they’re not allowed in the local dry shelter because they’re under the influence, you are enabling their death.

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
