Homeless and “actually sleeps on the streets” are different things.
A home is an abstract thing, a house is a quantifiable object.
Also it kind of implies that society should provide a house for them.
It’s like the difference between calling someone wittless and uneducated.
One implies that’s just how the person is, the other implies a failing of society/family.
I like the word unhoused, it implies they should just be housed if they are homeless. Everyone should be housed, even if they don’t own a home
