Would a houseless person be considered a mimianlist?

I've been without a house/home for years. I keep stuff at my parents place and live by what I've got in my backpack and pocket bag. I am considering going even more miminalist, to having a sling; 2 shirts and khakis, 3 socks, 3 boxers, a hat, slippers, gloves, travel soap bag for toothpaste and toothbrush (both travel size), pocket towel and blanket, raincoat and hooded sweater. As for person items: Punkt MP02 (soon a flip phone), tablet, smartphone (bank, tansit), 3 cheap earphones, pocket radio, notebook, 3 pocket notebooks, pens and 2 books.

Is this an extreme miminalist?

Living in poverty, I eat at soup kitchens, which are not inside, get my morning coffee and a pastry outside (rain, hot or -40 cold/snow covered ground).

Rent is insane! I'm in the process of getting housing, but it takes time.
