A while back, a San Francisco Chronicle columnist wrote of a dapper homeless guy who was shining shoes and just needed some help getting back on his feet. And readers responded by sending him money, providing him with an apartment with cheap rent, and... he proceeded to blow it all and end up back where he started. The columnist advises you not to send him money again. Well, yes. There are people who end up homeless who really do only need a hand to get back in the game, but a lot of them are homeless for reasons beyond the financial, and just handing them money and keys to a home won't change that.
