but how many shelter's allow people to store their stuff and claim a spot as "theirs"? And don't require a sermon to be able to spend the night, like SA.

I don't know how many homeless shelters there are, but with the numbers of homeless not in a shelter, there is obviously a lot wrong with the current system. The pet thing is huge. For many homeless people, their pet is the only family they have.
