    Somehow I’d never run across the phrase “rough sleeping” as a term for homelessness before.

      Its really such a poor choice of words. Why try to invent new words for the exact same thing? The only thing that comes to mind in this case is strategic manipulation.

        It’s a subcategory of homelessness, because homelessness takes many forms not all of which involve sleeping on the street.
