I think it depends on how emotionally involved you get. If you start visualizing their situations and then yourself in those situations it could be a bad thing.
Also remember you want to FEEL good all the time, I think it's kind of hard to do that when you are surrounded by things that are obviously going to make you feel bad.
Of course you could donate and do positive things but I think just sitting there and feeling sorry for them is not going to help anyone.
Think of it this way, you could go down and talk to them and hear there story and try and cheer them up or you could go out and make a huge success of yourself and then come back and buy them all homes.
I think the latter would be a more positive thing to do and if you asked the homeless themselves they would probably prefer you to go and do that.
