The city requires relocation fees for rent control properties because they don't want the evicted tenants to end up homeless.

Along with crime, the homeless situation is just as prevalent as ever, and is something businesses downtown will have to work with. 

But just a few years ago I was almost homeless with no car.

I would donate to homeless shelter.

You could also consider volunteering at a homeless shelter to give back to the community

Construction Management is also a great field to study if you're of that mind and structural engineering is great if you enjoy math.One last thing, like you I was always afraid of not having enough money, my specific fear was ending up a homeless bag lady.

Maybe she will spend it all on rotten tomatoes and then throw them at homeless people.

My homeless non-profits bracket their tenants low(3-6 mo rent guaranteed) medium (6-12) and high (12+).

Of course you can always keep your rents at market rates and donate to your local homeless shelter.

After closing, my property manager took over and mentioned that there were several squatters and homeless people living on the property.
