Yes, and its a requirement for more better quality
@9NFK5PQ5 days5D
yes, especially for homeless men and male victims of DV, SA and rape
@9NCW7BK6 days6D
No. From what I have seen in the past 10 years - whatever government does fills the pockets of it's grifters and does little to help the needy. The more we get back our individual freedoms and get government out of our lives - the better!!!!!

No, but State governments can decide how much funding is provided and under what circumstances.
@ChaseOliverLibertarian 1wk1W
I sympathize with the need for more shelters and services for the homeless. When government subsidizes these services, incentives shift from providing services that increase the long-term outlook of the homeless population to filling beds to receive more funding.

No, because when shelters are funded by government, however well-meaning, the incentives of shelter administrators shift from providing better services that aid the long-term outlook of the homeless, to filling beds to receive more funding.
