Based on what I've seen on a couple of other sites, and in person, folks who encounter the homeless are far more likely to tell them to get a job than they are to "find out what help they need." Has been that way for decades.

Is what I can do the topic? No. Topic is what someone tries to market as something which "significantly reduce homelessness and poverty." I still contend it will not, that it appears suspicious and that it appears unrelated to PA.

All of these reasons why not to help. If you think it's a scam, report the post. If you think it's just unhelpful, then share how to help. Just complaining about the issue is not helping anyone.

Not sure where you picked up the "scam" part, but it was not from anything I posted.
Why must so many of you be so obviously dishonest?
