Giving to the homeless question

My brother in law was homeless in the Twin Cities for a couple of years. He told me that the shelters are full of drug dealers and gang members who use homeless people to pan handle. He made it seem like I shouldn’t be giving out any money. I always try to give a few bucks if I end up at a street light and they are on the corner. So now I feel conflicted. Are we not supposed to give money to homeless people?
