正确说法

• 这场地震不仅夺去了数百条生命，更使数万名幸存者在严冬中无家可归，紧急救援与过渡安置工作面临巨大的资源压力和时间压力。(This earthquake not only claimed hundreds of lives but also left tens of thousands of survivors homeless in the depths of winter, placing enormous pressure on resources and time for emergency relief and transitional resettlement efforts.)
• 社会政策研究者指出，若城市住房市场的租金涨幅长期远超低收入群体的收入增速，将有越来越多的弱势家庭陷入无家可归的边缘状态。(Social policy researchers noted that if urban housing rental costs continue to rise far faster than the income growth of low-income groups over the long term, an increasing number of vulnerable families will be pushed to the brink of homelessness.)

错误说法

• 无家可归 for someone who is temporarily staying away from home or between residences by choice — it specifically implies involuntary, serious displacement with no stable place to return to
