ALSO would like to make it clear that im not “assuming” that people who are homeless spend all their $ on drugs or alcohol. im simply using a talking point some people use to justify not giving homeless people cash.

no but actually. folks experiencing substance use might literally be surviving off what might be given to them to keep them alive even if it means drugs.

exactly. withdrawal can literally kill..so staying on those drugs may be damaging them, but it is keeping them alive. it’s tragic but true.

I agree with this and if you worry that they need food you can give them some. I have given food to homeless before and they were always grateful.
-
having been homeless twice, I can assure you sometimes they need it as much as food, to get by. Anyone who disagrees, try not going home for a week and try sleeping on a hard cold floor every night, never knowing when this nightmare is going to end, or if it ever will

if i give a homeless person money and they spend it on alcohol or drugs Why should I be bothered? If I did not give the money to the homeless, it would only be what I would spend it on
