Pope Francis's ministry is all set to open a new Vatican barber shop where Rome's homeless will be able to get free haircuts and shaves.

Mgr. Krajewski told a publication that their primary concern is to give people their dignity and when a person has no means of washing themselves, they are rejected by society and we all know a homeless person cannot enter a public establishment such as a bar or a restaurant and ask to use the bathroom because they are told to go away.
Krajewski added that showering and washing one's underwear is not enough and a person needs to keep their hair and facial hair tidy, also in order to prevent diseases.
The homeless population in Rome numbers about 3,700, according to a census conducted by a Rome foundation and university.
