I can't speak for any homeless shelters except for those in NYC, where I've done some volunteer work. The conditions in most of these shelters are deplorable, if I were ever in the situation where I was homeless, I'd sooner take my chances on the streets or the subways rather than a 'bed' in one of these shelters.
I've never taken drugs either, but I've read enough to know that some of the drugs that are availble for schizophrenia and other conditions that some of the homeless have, are worse than the condition itself, and unless the person is monitored on those drugs, I'm not sure I'd want them taking them.
