Panhandling due to being homeless and homelessness must be given an exit strategy. Different needs (addiction, health, no job-money-roof) must be addressed. Think Health support, housing, meals, income; WPA, CCC, PWA for the benefit to the individual...which...will benefit the community.
The ACLU may correctly interpret The Constitution with their defense of panhandling...but...that’s hardly the Intent.
