I disagree. I think many people can empathize with the homeless, but we’re not out there hugging them for a couple of reasons. The “stereotypical” homeless person is someone who either has mental problems or substance-abuse problem (or both), and who literally lives on the street, and therefore has no easy access to toilets and showers. Just being dirty is going to repulse people, even if that dirty person owned a home. And having a bunch of drug addicts or mentally unwell people camping in the streets isn’t very safe.
