Victoria http://www.ehow.com/about_4611571_homeless-people-drugs.html On this site there is information about homeless people and drugs and alcohol. There are arguments saying that it isn't their faulta and arguments saying that it is. They show results on studies done around the world saying the percentages of homeless people who are drug and alcohol addicts. I hope you find some good info on this site. CAROLINE G  http://www.thecampuschronicle.com/communique/spotlight/070209a.cfm this is about students who were assigned to make a couple of advertisements about homelessness. I think it is really cool how an art and design school decided to make a diffrence around the community. In this website it shows some examples of three students advertisments. This also is a good way to inform people of how we can help. P.S check this out http://inventorspot.com/articles/homelessness_worldwide_issue_7898

Ralsey This non profit organisation gives people a home and a job and takes panhandlers off the street. This proves there are more ways to give to the homeless then give them money. The people who want to help out can donate their time or, old furniture and things they never use. Instead of giving money to a homeless person or a panhandler give it to the charity. http://www.emmaus.org.uk/get-involved
