What is the opinion on people who give money to homeless people and how it relates to the larger issue of homelessness?
Those who give money to these street people are "enablers". You are "part of the problem". You are the reason this issue continues.  You are no different than a Government who rewards people not to work. You are no different than our Assembly who decided to allow drunks to sleep in free hotel rooms. Look at the mess that has caused. But hey, fools will be fools and we can't legislate against stupidity.
