English term or phrase: unhoused
Is there a word for "unhoused" in Swedish? Or would it simply be "unhoused" - it being a uniquely English word?

Yes i falls within the realm of homelessness and homeless, but there is a substantial difference in English between homeless and unhoused - so hemlös it not the term here.
