Perhaps we should consider how we allocate resources. Micah, for instance, does not classify the homeless population into the deserving poor and the undeserving poor. They serve everyone in need. Others do not serve those they consider the undeserving poor - people who are disruptive, for instance - and the City Council goes along with that, making it official. Perhaps the resources going to entities that will only serve the "deserving" poor can be used for a street ambassador. There are certainly homeless sleeping openly around town, not just at the station.
