Homelesness won't go away

[y u kik me?]

I have 8 burgage plots, 15 families, 5 homelessness problem that doesn't go away. out of the 8 plots 5 are empty. been happening for a few months already, so I'm not getting any new families

let me get this straight, you have houses enough for 8 families. but you have a total of 15 famalies and you onder why are still getting homelessness?

so I only managed to get it to go away after having the bonus of food variety raise the approval rating to 50 which finally triggered the arrivals of new families which then removed the homelessness debuff

8 plots, 5 are empty so they're not moving in

I have the original 5 starting families. 15 burgage plots. All 5 families moved into houses after like the 2nd or 3rd month when the 5th house was built. I am on April of year 2, I have a 46% approval rating because I have a permanent -10 homelessness debuff always listed under "previous". I can't get new families because that -10 keeps me from getting to 50%. I have 6% buff from food variety. Everything has been in a granary or general storage since August, so no exposed goods. I seem to be perma stuck at 5 families... =( I have saved and reloaded, and it just won't go away. I have verified by clicking on houses that all 5 families are in a house, and the original worker tent disappeared automatically when the 5th family moved into a house, like the Goods spots auto disappeared when everything was moved. Heeelp.

Edit: No burned down houses or raids have happened yet (though one is coming in 340 days, and I don't have the population to support an army -- only 15 people total across those 5 families)

I noticed after multiple new games homelessness doesn't seem to go away until you get approval rating above 50 so that it triggers new families to move in which in turn makes the debuff go away.

I used to get this debuff everytime.
One thing I did to counter it was to upgrade the workers tent first thing and then focus on building houses, once you have enough for all, then destroy the tent.

You might even get new families before the first houses are done, so build 6-7 before destroying.

That made it work for me, no debuff at all.
