For anyone wondering what they can do to help homeless people, a first step (that costs you nothing) is to simply treat them like normal people. If they speak to you, reply like you would any other person. If they ask you for money, respond to them politely. Don't simply ignore them as if they don't exist. Don't be afraid to smile and make eye contact. Just be nice, and remember that they're people too.
There isn't much, other than luck and some privilege, which separates most of us elites from someone who finds themselves living on the street.
