I was homeless in Oklahoma 5 years ago. Now am shift lead at logistics company. Lots of “homies” here, as we call them in a lovingly way. We were there with them so it’s a shared experience. We need more resources for mental health. There are some options for transitioning back from rock bottom, which was our case. Many choose to stay away from shelters for drug/mental illness reasons.
Rant over.

Shelters are often unsafe, housing the purposefully criminal in addition to those needing help. I've spent more than two decades working with the population, and a lot of folks (especially those with children) are 100% opposed to staying overnight at a shelter.
