Yeah I think acknowledging someone and treating them as though they're the same as anyone else (just without a safe home situation). I had to be on the street for a few months on and off with my wife in 2016 and 2017, in Vancouver. We weren't dirty, or begging, just couldn't find anywhere to rent in that crazy housing market. The worst was when people treat you differently for no reason. As soon as you're homeless or poor or disabled or whatever, people really change how they see you and treat you. So it's probably a very nice thing when you acknowledge people who aren't doing well. :)
