street dweller
One without shelter
A street dweller is someone who lives on the streets, lacking permanent housing.
The term is more formal or euphemistic than *homeless person* and appears in policy documents, journalism, and social services contexts: The city opened warming centers for street dwellers during the cold snap.
It emphasizes the location of living rather than the absence of a home.
