  • Also, for anyone reading through this thinking, "I shouldn't give them money because drugs"

    I use drugs to cope with chronic pain so I can get through a workday

    I'm skilled labor and make a decent salary

    The only things separating me from a homeless person were some "fortunate" family deaths providing enough inheritance to put me through college at a good time and some lucky networking

    We should all be more humble and less judgemental of eachother's choices

  • I subscribe to a policy of cautious altruism, like a lot of folks already said. I need to keep myself and my family safe so probably not allow in the house, but I'd give food water, the hose, soap, shampoo, clean towel, and a change of clothes if I can. Maybe even some cash if I have it around to spare.

    If I have a shed or garage I'd allow them to use it to change clothes privately and offer to wash their clothes if safe. They may have residue of drugs like meth on their clothes that I'm unable handle.

    I've also got a decent amount of privilege to share.

    Be kind, be safe
