There is plenty of help for genuine homeless people, they all take it and this is funded by the council and local businesses.
They go out of their way to get housing for people and get them in to employment, I have seen this often with GENUINE people falling on hard times. They have turned their life around.
What you are seeing is scammers, junkies, alcoholics and fake homeless littering the streets with their "begging kit" that consists of a cardboard sign, a rented dog, a tent, smelly blankets and sleeping bag and dirty clothes to change in to.
Liverpool Council run a campaign called "no 2nd night" meaning no one had to spend a 2nd night on the streets, they would be approached a few times day and night and offered help. The fake scroungers did not want that help, they chose to stay on the streets, but accepted gifts and meals/drinks etc.
They stayed at home during lockdown as there was no one out to beg for money for heroin and crack.
DO NOT allow yourself to be scammed - maybe as a volunteer or observer, go out with outreach workers, speak to the council and speak to local businesses that put millions in to shelters, shared housing and funded private healthcare and services for GENUINE people. You never see the genuine people back after a few days, many will go back after a year to thank those involved and tell them how much they achieved.
