Yes, this is a good idea. You could also focus on the community-building aspect: these are our neighbors, capitalism has done huge violence to them, and we need to take care of each other because nobody else will. Whatever aid you focus on will likely be useful for more people than just the unhoused, which is ahain good community building.
Choose the right community to start in, too. Suburbsn rich crackerville will probably dehumanize the people you’re helping and see it as harmful. I wouldn’t do my first action there.
Tie your work to a larger project as well. Build a list of supporters with contact info so you can push a local electoral campaign, hold rallies to pressure politicians, etc. This will help justify and offset costs, as aid $$$ quickly adds up and you will need donations and all opportunities to build power.
You’re not knocking down propaganda, you’re just being selectively gullible and letting absurd weirdos control your beliefs without investigating them. Adrian Zenz, breathless and inconsistent BBC videos, “medua bias fact check” that’s a ridiculous politically one-dimensional “centrism is facts” website with no consistent methodology by people you should have no reason to trust.
Personally, I try to not unquestioningly accept state department propaganda directed at a perceived enemy state from 3 years ago, and then when challenged hastily google until my biases are confirmed, but you do you.
