Welcome to the euphemism treadmill
In the US they mean different things, as homeless includes people living in other people's homes. That can include people whose house just burnt down and are living with friends or family because they lost their permanent residence (home). Unhoused is about where they are staying.
People on the street are homeless and unhoused.
And you really think people use and understand these terms like that?
You may be correct in the academic sense, but completely wrong in all other senses.
He isn't correct in an academic sense. They are synonyms. Unhoused is being used because homeless has negative connotation to it.
