Just One In Ten Beggars Are Actually Homeless

[super jumbe]

This will come as a shock to people who hand money to beggars - but there seems to be a high chance that your cash is going to people who have homes.

A survey by a Nottingham homelessness charity found that just one in ten beggars on the city?s streets were actually homeless.

The rest were either living with family or friends, or actually have their own homes.

The survey by the charity framework found that out of 52 people asking for cash, just five were sleeping rough.

Jason Marriott, of Framework, said: ?This research appears to confirm what we have long suggested ? that rough sleeping and begging are not the same thing.

'That isn?t to say that people who beg don?t need help because in most cases they certainly do. What matters most, however, is that they get the right kind of help for the problems they are facing.?

Homeless man finds ?1,000 in cash and hands it to the police

A homeless man, who remains unnamed, handed in ?1,000 cash he found in the suburb of Victoria, British Columbia.

The man, who is in his 60s, found $2,000 Canadian Dollars, equal to just over ?1,000, on a street in Langford.

A spokesperson for the West Shore RCMP said: ?This is an incredible display of honesty and selflessness.

?Despite his current situation, the man realised the money belonged to someone out there and turned it in because he felt it was the right thing to do.?

It seems the money was dropped accidentally - police in the area are now searching to find who it belongs to.

However, if no one claims the cash within 90 days, the incredibly honest man can keep it.

Should have kept it 91 days then went to police station

No Meaty honest is the right policy, learn from this poor guy, despite poverty he needed money, this poor man was brave to display honesty, and I wish all the society of the world will learn from him….

The other 47 were on a 5 star holiday package from Romania then? The government asks me for cash, though they call it tax, and I may call them many names but homeless isn't one of them, perhaps money grabbing parentless people
