Just saw a new term for the homeless, "unhoused"

To be fair, it works up to a point. Homeless is in fact more neutral. I use it almost exclusively in neutral ways, and one of the older ones when I’m being insulting. “There’s been a 10% increase in homelessness” vs “you look like a bum.”

A more basic question is whether the temporary sensitizing to valences permanently increases empathy and lowers temptation to be negative. In my case it has. I use homelessness-based insults much less than 10 years ago.
