Are Panhandlers Homeless?

My friend Karen (who wrote the book our ministry is featured in) keeps asking questions, so I keep answering them! Her latest question is this:

Is there a difference between a homeless person and a panhandler? If so, how do their needs vary and what are some of the ways in which we can respond to the needs of the homeless?

or, put another way, and in a form I recieve much more often:

Are panhandlers homeless?

I answer her over at her blog.
