I have seen person-first language longer than the discussions around homelessness. K-12 education is an early adopter of these language shifts, and I may have seen discussions of students with disabilities. This article blames person-first language on the country of Sweden and says they started it in the 1970s. It also says that Deaf people were the first to resist it.
A lot of autistic people have made the stance that they hate person-first language and that they are autistic people.
A lot of it was about seeing people who are often ignored or not seen as human at all as human by using person-first language. That article that I linked above said that person-first originated to fight against some of the parental advocacy groups that exclude people who have whatever it is that the group is formed around. I am pretty sure that the autistic community hates Autism Speaks because there is a lot of enabling of parents who want to harm their disabled children in parental advocacy groups. When autism groups are built around autistic people, money would not have been wasted on "Let's cure autism" stuff.
There is this paper called "Unsheltered homelessness in urban parks: Perspectives on environment, health, and justice in Salt Lake City, Utah." I read it when I was doing NAACP stuff, and I believe it is about seeing homeless people as trash, just something to be cleaned up as opposed to actual humans.
