The vast majority of homeless on the street are disabled. I have actually never met a homeless person (on the street, not couch surfing) who wasn't disabled, but stastically they apparently exist. When people weaponize disability rights to harm homeless, they are just using disability rights against the disabled.
Also, considering what the government sees accomodation and disability actually as - a way to help disabled people literally live and survive here. Eg a wheelchair user needs a wheelchair to live. But everyone has a 'disability' that needs shelter, food, and water to live - yet we don't guarantee those.
