Description: A City of Houston campaign to address panhandling as part of Mayor Turner's holistic approach to homelessness.
Houstonians are compassionate – always ready to help someone in need. But sometimes helping can hurt. The many nonprofits working to solve homelessness have created a system called The Way Home, which provides permanent housing and supportive services for homeless individuals and families. The Way Home only works when homeless people and families access services.
If a person can manage their homelessness by panhandling, that is one more day that they will be homeless, rather than getting permanent help.
Faith Leaders, non-profits, and the business community are partnering with The Way Home to create Meaningful Change for homeless individuals rather than prolonging their homelessness with Spare Change. We need your help.
