I think monks aren't excited about washing off piss in the morning
Then they should provide access to toilets. Where are they going when they want to take a piss? Also isn't helping the poor in anyway they can a charitable act revered by their religion?
I get the idea and I think it's wonderful but have you ever been to a homeless shelter? They need staff to break up fights, protect women, clean up the mess made by drug users and alcoholics, and all sorts of other difficult things your average old lady pew duster isn't capable of dealing with.
Maybe for the Sikhs?
Every major religion reveres helping the needy, for example in Islam, zakat, giving money for charity (if you have enough wealth to afford it) is a requirement.
You are making the mistake of assuming homeless people's actions are rational.
