A home, for example, is not bricks and mortar.
I'd be the first to agree that a house is not a home. I want to shriek when realtors say they don't sell houses, they sell homes. I personally define a house as everything outside the paint and a home as everything inside the paint. You can move your home to a different house. You can't buy a ready-made home.
But try to tell a homeless person that bricks and mortar don't matter. Homeless is also houseless. If they had a house they could make a home inside it - but it's hard to have a home without a house.

We talk about keeping body and soul together. What's a soul without a body to house it?
