I've never met a homeless person who didn't want a place to live, but many avoid shelters, often with good reason.

Any 'Christian' who says, "Don't feed or provide shelter to the poor." is no Christian at all.

BTW, where can I sign up for the (mythical 'without working') $45,000 annual salary? I could use the extra cash.

I'm not going to explain my rating on this one because I almost know it will bring hostility to some.

... in lieu of cash. This was the basis of Gavin Newsome's controversial "Care Not Cash" program. I'm a fan.

I will say this: some homeless people don't want any help and quite content where they are, but some homeless people just hit hard times and would love a second chance. I'm sure these types of provisions would be very appreciated.

There are quite a lot of reasons for a person or family becoming homeless. But the most horrible feeling is the feeling of not having a place to go to at night. It is so dangerous. If even a simple mistake is made, a person or family could become homeless.
Homeless shelters are life savers.

I'm a young man with a horrible past and I'm just need to be alone to appreciate life and relize how hard it really can get without support.I'm twenty yrs. old and i really can't see a future for me at this moment in the position i'm in. I have burn too many bridges and i just remember that i cannot go back home because i don't have one. my family and friends are tried of my excuses and short income. i think god wants me to be alone.. and i have court this month and i owe the world money. What should I do?

This country is replete with benefits for the unfortunate. In NYC one can commeasure an annual salary of $45,000 without ever working. Federally there are food stamp programs, direct benefits for homes with children housing benefits, Medicaid (not to mention tons of education benefits if you actually want to do something). States offer further assistance for housing and medical care supplements- including dental, plus further housing assistance through vouchers, and food benefits, locally the offer energy and utilities subsistence programs, food supplements, housing supplements, job assistance- and direct emergency aid if you become displaced. There is no lack of aid for the unfortunate. What there is a lack of are programs that treat the real causes of static poverty and homelessness. Its not a lack of options but a corrosive culture of debauch behavior that foments static poverty, brought on by numerous problems including mental disorders and drug addictions.

this is a much needed solution to help them get on their feet. its not easy looking for a job after youve slept behind a bush or a building with no place to clean up. that alone would make you feel insecure and would not leave a good impression

This is a great idea, but there is usually not enough funding to adequately provide for the homeless population in most cities.

Good list. ... I think it would be a great idea to provide shelters and meals to them. Because keeping them outside of shelter provides a health and safety danger. We don't want to see anybody suffering from malnutrition so I think it's humane if we feed them too.
