Do you think that organizing support for unhoused people would be a good proposal to make to the party I'm in? (lemmygrad.ml)

I'm in the PCPE, and they seem to focus a lot on educating and radicalizing people.

That is important of course, but I thought that organizing material support for people that needs it would not only actually improve the lives of people but also show the general population that "the commies" aren't some bloodthirsty monsters but instead actual people that want a better world.

What do you think? I think it's a good idea.

Most definitely! Not only is it important to help homeless people as the most vulnerable class, but a lot of anxieties of rent-paying proletarians are specifically about how horrible it would be to become homeless without any support. Just be careful that some countries have some really backwards laws over organising and helping homeless people. It'll also require a lot of training since some homeless people will be struggling with drug addiction or mental illness, and those need very special care. Over here we have the Homeless Worker Movement that does some cool ideas like free public restaurants in critical regions as well as more direct action such as coordinating occupations of abandoned housing
