To understand if a homeless shelter donation or charity is considered a tax deduction you must do research to see if they are classified as a charity as per the rules set out by the Internal Revenue Agency.

Can we hold charity collections if we are not registered?

The advantage of being a registered charity is that you can give people receipts for their donations, which can then be used in claiming a deduction on their income tax. You can collect charitable donations without being a registered charity, but the money donated to a charity that is not registered doesn't count for the purpose of income tax deduction.

How many people are homeless in the UK?

Unfortunately there are about 1 million people in Britain that are homeless. Half a million of which are on the street or in doorways and the other half a million are living in a squat or a temporary shelter. Difficult to count, since many homeless are outside any formal record-keeping system. Homeless implies no home. Squatting or living in any shelter is a home. A nasty home, but a home.

How can a homeless person receive help?

Call shelters in the area which you think that person may be, they sometimes can help you by saying they are there or they have been there,If that person is there you can have them give them a message. Go sit in a park and talk to the homeless. After an hour or so, chances are that someone (who is homeless) that you talk to will know the person that you are looking for- they'll give you an idea where that person will be.

How many people are homeless each year?

The answer to this question depends on which study you read. One in 2008 estimated that 1.5 million or more were homeless and in 19 of 25 cities they looked at 12% were homeless since 2007. The National Law Center found 2.3 to 3.5 million homeless in 2008 and the Department of Housing and Urban Development followed the homeless trend in just one night in January 07. They found 671,888 people homeless. Of these 58% had a place in a shelter while 48% were on the streets. The problem with trying to count homeless people is they move around, do not have a address, and go in or out of shelters. All of the numbers above are estimates and the numbers are most likely greater than reported. They also vary state by state. Some states like CA have higher rates. This is a very hard population to track. It is also estimated that 25 million children are homeless and attend schools off and on. The fact that this number of children exists in a homeless situation means that as they age they may find problems due to the lack of education and are from poor single parent families that are unable to help them. So, they may tend to continue to be homeless as well.
