Here are some things you can do to help people who are homeless.
1.Become familiar with community programs in your area that provide help.
When someone asks for help,you can direct that person to a program that will provide the help they need .
2.Do not assume that homeless persons are alike.
There are a number of circumstances that cause a person to become homeless.The shabby person on the street may be the stereotype,but the homeless person may be a woman fleeing a domestic violence situation with her children,someone who is working but unable to make enough to pay the rent,or someone living out of a car.
3.Talk to the person with respect.
Homeless people face isolation and scorn.It means a lot when someone addresses them in a civil,polite way.
4.Share the love.
Encourage the person with loving words and actions.You may be amazed at that person's faith in light of his or her circumstances.
5.Pray for them.
I have been amazed at how much homeless persons appreciate someone taking the time to listen to their concerns and pray with them.
6.Consider carefully before giving cash.
It is often easier to give cash to a homeless person than to take the time to help with the person's actual needs.If someone says he needs money for food,it is better to buy food than to give cash.Cash may present a temptation to purchase drugs or alcohol,or it may even make the recipient a victim of crime.
7.Take precautions for your own safety.
While most homeless persons are not dangerous,there are some who may present a threat to you.You can let the person know in a courteous manner that you are taking precautions because you don't know him and that you expect him to respect your boundaries.
8.Support policies that help poor and homeless persons.
Many persons cannot afford housing because the cost of rent is beyond their income level.Often organizations who try to help special populations run into opposition from community groups who say,"Not in my backyard!" You can advocate for more affordable housing for low-income workers and for facilities in your community that help persons who need housing and assistance because of domestic violence,mental illness,and addiction
