What? No.
Homeless people aren't helpless animals in need of coddling. They are human beings with intelligence, perfectly capable of exploiting incentives and your kindness.
They terrorize eachother, and those who interact with them.
It only takes attempting to help a homeless person 2-3 times in person to see and understand that.
Needle exchanges, supervised injection sites, and cash stipends to addicts are going to be looked back on as hideously poor policy, and their supporters have blood on their hands.
