A wise man once told me that if someone is hungry you can buy them a nice fish dinner and they will be hungry again tomorrow looking for someone to buy them another dinner. But if you teach them to fish, they can provide their own fish dinners. The problem with many (not all) homeless people is that they would rather have someone else provide them with dinner and don't want to learn how to fish.
