Homelessness can happen to anyone. Unexpected circumstances at a time when family and friends can't help are the usual causes of homelessness. Unfortunately, many people experience homelessness; usually for three months or less.

Giving money to panhandlers doesn’t fix problems. In order to truly help those in need, we urge you to join with us and support organizations and services that provide long-lasting care and stop giving money to panhandlers
Our reputation for compassion and generosity has led to a problem with panhandlers who are not homeless and do not reside in McKinney.
To help people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, the city financially supports nonprofit organizations whose mission is to provide food and shelter services to those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
