Tools for Business
Businesses can help discourage panhandling and support the HOST (Homeless Outreach Service Team) program by utilizing resources available for businesses such as signage for parking lots or entryways, stickers for check out areas, and window clings to help educate the public about the HOST program and encouraging direct charitable giving to homeless service organizations or to the HOST program rather than directly to panhandlers.
