It doesn't address immediate situations such as what to do if someone asks you for money but it does present long term solutions that everyone can be involved in.

please don’t remove it for me.

Plus you've got to see the view of LA from the roof at urm.org it's the best I've ever seen. DJ, I’m down on skid row several times a month, if you do make it down to meet up with Mark, count me in!

I was not aware of the offensiveness of this video, my sincere apologies. I'm removing the video from here. What would be a genuinely helpful way to really help the homeless, when we see a panhandler? I was visiting Los Angeles Mission because I have a good friend who works there, and I've finally been able to get there for a visit. @Mark, thanks for your comment.

LA Mission is only one of many doing great work at 'ground zero' of homelessness. sure wish their marketing firm Russ Reid would get with the times. the video is not only offensive, it's a typical nonprofit video from 10 years ago. you didn't state why you were on skid row. seems kind of out of the norm. next time give a yell so we can connect hugs, -M the video ’5 Ways To Help The Homeless’ is offensive
