You have no idea what you're talking about.
I've been homeless, and staying the fuck away from the shelters is how you stay safe.
I spent one night in one once, and promptly went back to looking for hidden little spots where no one would be able to see me.
Unless you are the crustiest of old homebums, shelters are where your shit gets stolen and you get stabbed if you make a fuss. Or raped.
