If they all believed in God's grace they would probably also know that other's
who believe this would be supportive when needed.
The saying is not just a helpless quote but also an empowering one...if allowed

It's not about grace, its about recognizing one's arrogance toward
another human being, practicing humility and developing empathy. Many in
America view homeless as being somehow their own fault, as if they would
only blank, they could be more like themselves.

Many of the homeless are too far gone to ever be integrated into
mainstream society, so there's little to be done except address basic
needs and attempt to stem their substance abuse.
