Please cite a credible study that showed that praying for homeless
people helped improve their situation.

I agree that it is not a good idea in most cases to give them
cash. Personally, I prefer to leverage my giving by donating to
charities that use the money to improve the general situation long-term
as well as the specific instances.

But it is silly to claim that praying for them will help them.
