To answer your question ONLY YOU can decide if you should feel guilty or not, no one but you can answer a question like that.
If they're were angels they would understand your decsion not to give and they would be thankful that they could play a role in your catalyst. thats my opinion
I rarely if ever give money to a begger. The truth is most of them will spend it on alcohol or drugs. But I have no problem handing them food or water. instead of giving them money buy some apples and bananas and give them some food. read this story of a man who made 60k a year begging

Trust me the people on the streets Don't need money they need wisdom. They need to raise their level of awareness so they don't have the need to beg. give a man a fish feed him for a day, teach him to fish, feed him for life.I personally believe an over abundance of compassion leads to ENABLING the one your being compassionate too.
there is an infinitie number of ways to help... be more creative, instead of just handing them money, try and truly help em or meditate on what will truly help em
you never know you might give a homeless man a book that can change is life.
(I'm not refering to the Law of One but it could help)
TL;DR version
Homeless people don't need money, they need the awareness, and knowledge to overcome the struggles that put them in that place. they need to grow
