It is clear that panhandling and soliciting for contributions is against the Rules of Conduct on the New York City Subway. People that claim to be working for the United Homeless Organization are soliciting for contributions on the Subway.
I have zero tolerance for anyone that commits an act in violation of the Rules of Conduct on the Subway. What can I do to put a stop to this?

By the way, I have nothing against finding charitable solutions to deal with the problem of homelessness in our society--though we are a society of laws.

The UHO is not funded legitimately- the people who panhandle for them get 50% of the money (and of course scam more). They run little flophouses.
Don't speak up in front of the people begging, lest you get hurt. Call your local precinct. Also, the Mayor's office will respond to enough complaints. As a 'legit' homeless worker (I'm contracted by DHS), I share your pain.

Contact the Office of the Mayor. Also, call 311 with your complaint. They are a scam, and I always confront them about it.

Mind your business, fascist.
