Yes, I said it in the comment right above yours. In a conventional homeless shelter there are more people around and staff, meaning you're at least not alone with an attacker. Homeless people do get attacked by other homeless and street thugs.

I mean, is there evidence that this is a concern - your comment isn't evidence.

I don't know if it really works out that way - plenty of homeless people say the shelters aren't safe - but regardless, it isn't working.
