The Very Best Way to Help Homeless People is to Do Something Rather than Nothing

Homelessness is a complicated issue. Homelessness is caused by a wide array of problems, many of which feed into each other. Because people know the issue is so complex they often wonder what the best way to help homeless people is. Many people hesitate to act because they are so unsure of what to do.

I decided to take a crack at it and provide a "best way" for people to fight homelessness. I'll be honest, it might not actually be the best way to help homeless people but, with a "best way" in hand, perhaps more people will be confident enough to take some action. This approach is based on my experience as a homeless person and as a person who worked with homeless people and who has taken homeless people into my home as well as from my research on the issue.
