How to help homeless in the suburbs? (midwest.social)

I live in an east side suburb and recently noticed at least one person with a bunch of bags/sacks sleeping at an RTA bus stop on multiple occasions. I've lived here since 2016 and this is the first time I've seen homeless in this part of town. Just today I saw on facebook some person complaining about the homeless at bus stops around here, and I was wondering what I could do to help them.

Obviously, I can buy them food or give them some money, but I'm more worried about their lack of shelter and exposure to snobby suburbanites who don't want to see them around as well as shitty suburban cops.

Does anyone know of resources I could give them to find shelter nearby?

https://haventents.com/collections/hammock-tents I dont know about this onespecifically but hammock tents are a great thing to have if you dont have a roof over your head.

As for resources I really don't know. Most of the shelters know of are downtown and run by religious organizations
