Besides one sung by Phil Collins, does anyone know of songs with the theme of homelessness or having compassion on the homeless? Thanks

Kimya Dawson sings a lot about homeless people and sad things. Her song Lullaby for the Taken would be a good song, it's about a homeless leady whole steals a baby. A lot of her songs revolve around odd topics like that, I think you should use her as your main singer for this project.

the aqualung album from jethro tull for sure. i've only found tull on rhapsody. i don't know if your looking for feel good stuff, if you are then aqualung, mother goose, up to me and cross-eyed mary probably aren't what you want. if your looking for reality, you'll find it there. the album goes into the making of such misery also. if you've ever been homeless you would find that pretty little tunes don't do anything for you, only for those who watch you. i suppose you want to help in some way so i'd tell you to get involved in the anti-drug abuse groups, goodwill, salvation army and possibly victory outreach. this is where it counts.

there is a beautiful scottish folk song by Heather Haywood called 'some people cry' which is all about being homeless and how people look the other way and dont see them, pretend that they dont exist so that they dont have to deal with the problem. a very touching song sang by a very talented scottish folk singer

Fast Car (it's not exactly homelessness, but it does talk about the plight of someone with very little money ...)
