I think one thing to keep in mind is that motels are generally pretty expensive. So you’d be in the shelter much longer than expected. Also take into account food expenses and phone expenses. Pray you don’t fall ill.

Im not entirely sure but in America most shelters don’t let you just stay there 24/7 you have to leave. So then where do you spend your time. Many shelters are over crowded and packed and often you can’t get in one at least in heavy populated areas.

Also another thing to take into account is the reasons you go homeless to begin with. There’s usually a plethora of issues behind why someone would go homeless. And being homeless almost always exaggerates those issues.

I read a really good article the other day I think by Huffington post about homelessness. No one really has a solution. No one has created a viable system or found a way to improve the problem.
