Giving the homeless a home is often cheaper …

than leaving them on the streets.

If your response is “Well then the obvious thing to do is give them a home and help them get on their feet!” you are both sensible and thinking like a Christian.  If your response is “I don’t care.  The homeless need to be forced to live on the street as a punishment for their shiftless indigence which I assume they must be guilty of” then consider the possibility you have more in common with a 19th century social Darwinist than with Jesus.
