Helping the Homeless - Is it "the Church's" or the Gov't's responsibility?

[Conskeeted7]

There are a lot of people who have nowhere to turn and no options and they end up on the street. However, there are a great number of homeless people who are that way beacuse of drug addiction, mental illness, and other similar circumstances.

These people need to be helped by government agencies and institutions for their specific problems. There are professionals who are best suited to deal with those ailments and I wouldn't mind my tax dollars going toward that cause. I'd prefer that to having some crazy homeless man attacking some church people who were trying to help him.
