Money has been raised though Montgomery’s Give Smart campaign, but very few nonprofit groups are applying for that funding to help panhandlers.
Crenshaw said the mission of the initiative is to specifically address homelessness, mental health issues and substance abuse.
“While it is fabulous to provide resources, toiletries, food to these individuals by just handing them these items, this initiative is to see what it’s going to take to get them off the street, to get them to where they don’t have to panhandle anymore,” she said. Crenshaw said there’s still money they hope to distribute. She encourages more organizations to apply.“It’s going to take a lot to help them get off the streets, and so we want to just help,” said Crenshaw.
