unhousing
Removing from shelter
Unhousing is the act or process of displacing people from their homes.
The term appears in discussions of urban development, gentrification, and housing policy, where it emphasizes the active nature of displacement rather than treating homelessness as something that simply happens: The city's unhousing of longtime residents continues unchecked.
As a participial adjective, unhousing describes policies or forces that create displacement: unhousing practices, unhousing effects of rising rents.
