Many people are shocked that Mayor Annise Parker is pushing her ordinance that would penalize those who feed the homeless without a permit.
The proposal would require groups and individuals to get a permit ($$$$) if they plan to provide food to at least five people on the streets of Houston.
And we’re not done just yet – you’d also be required to take food preparation classes ($$$$) as well.
If these steps aren’t taken before putting a slice of bread in the mouth of the homeless you could be slapped by the Parker administration with a $500 fine.
That would be feeding the homeless without a permit.
Some say it looks like the homeless may starve in Houston with these tough guidelines.
Here’s what some on social media are saying about Mayor Parker’s idea to penalize those who feed without a PERMIT:

Ezekiel Ezlovem MorganRoosevelt Fuller I don’t know you but that comment was unnecessary…and disrespectful……I fell we all should take some type of initiative to do some service to our homeless …so food prep classes would not only help them it will benefit you as well as a person ….however I do have an issue with a $500 fine …that is a mess …and for the most part I feel Annis Parker is doing a good Job…better than the other individuals that were running for mayor ….put yourself in here position….then you might see it differently …IJS -
So I guess it’s her opinion that eating out of dumpsters is safer than taking food from non-registered good samaritans! ridiculous!!

Delvin WileyI didn’t even vote for her. She looks mean! -
Tracy ScottWell you can’t kill the homeless while you feed the homeless – LOL
