	Homelessness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Not all homeless people panhandle, and not all panhandlers are homeless, despite the stereotype that the majority of all homeless people are panhandlers and "lazy bums".
		Many people don't understand enough about the horrific tragedy of being homeless and that often homeless people are not to blame for the situation.
		Homelessness should not be quantified as being without a house, it defines a state in which a person lacks a secure base to establish secure routines of living.

	The Homeless Guy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Homeless people are everywhere, but depending on local sentiment and police activity, homeless people in some areas are less visible than in others.
		Some people believe that if their act of charity towards the homeless does not result in homeless people getting off the streets, then their charity was wasted.
		Whether a homeless person has enough food to eat, or none at all, whether a homeless person has decent clothes to wear, or none at all, whether a homeless person has shelter, or none at all, he will still be homeless.

	St Mungo's - Homeless Facts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)

	Fewer homeless people on streets of San Francisco / 28% drop since fall of '02, but other counties report higher numbers
		San Francisco's homeless population plummeted by more than a quarter in the past two years, the city reported Monday, a dramatic change Mayor Gavin Newsom says is a credit to his policies of cutting cash assistance to street people and aggressively moving them into housing with counseling services.
		It showed the city now has 6,248 homeless people living on the streets or in jails, shelters, rehabilitation centers or other emergency facilities -- a 28 percent decline compared to 8,640 in October 2002, the last time such a count was conducted.
		And they come at a time when most other counties in the Bay Area expect to report an increase in their homeless populations, leading to speculation that perhaps some homeless people are being driven out of the city by its welfare-slashing Care Not Cash program.

	Homeless People & Homelessness
		People in institutions including prisons or juvenile justice centres often feel the same loneliness or more accurately experience homelessness as the only people they have contact with other than the other 'homeless' inmates are people paid to be a part of their life.

		Our approach is centred around spending time with homeless people for the sake of getting to know them and becoming a part of their lives so this sense of connectedness is established...

	Atlanta ranked second 'meanest' toward homeless \| ajc.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Atlanta took second place partly because of efforts by local police and the downtown community group, Ambassador Force, "to roust homeless people from any public or private space and arrest them if there is a delay," according to the study.
		He said aggressive panhandling and loitering homeless people have hurt Atlanta's hospitality industry.
		However, the report's ranking is "disheartening and a misrepresentation of what the city has done and continues to do" for the homeless, Willis said, citing its funding of community organizations and a recent initiative to create a 24-hour resource center for the poor.

		Frustrated with the current annual homeless census, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is now requiring that regional associations of agencies helping the homeless start collecting and locally sharing detailed personal information, including social security numbers and disability information, from the homeless.
		The idea is that Homeless Management Information Systems will lead to better care since associations would know exactly how many homeless people are in their area and how many are veterans, families, battered women, chronically homeless or mentally ill.
		To protect people's privacy, the associations, known as Continuums of Care, must use systems that incorporate several security measures, such as firewalls and secure socket layer technology, and will only send aggregate data to the government.
