That is good news. I believe the homeless should be helped by the various organizations such as this and Salvation Army etc.
Actually I think all pan-handling should be illegal. There should be fines for it but instead of fining the pan handler (who has no money anyways) the fine should be issued to the person giving money to a panhandler. That fine should then go to the charities that help people in need. If there was no gain in panhandling then they would not be doing it. I find panhandlers incredibly annoying, they make me angry.

Conservatives give $120 million who are making money hand over fist, and $120 thousand to feed people. Nice priorities.
