Homeless Citizens

• Every major city in the world has a homeless population. This social problem is common to urban areas. Their presence need not prevent people from enjoying their travel destination and its amenities.
• Most homeless people are harmless; however, some transients are chronic law violators who often infringe upon the rights of others. We suggest using a combination of caution and respect around panhandlers and other strangers.
• Contributing to panhandlers will not help the problem. If you wish to help, contribute to a charity, mission, food bank or social service agency that assists the needy.
