It is my experience that homeless shelters are not nice places. A good place to go and test your sense of compassion. Can you feel sympathy for people who willingly destroy themselves and inflict suffering on others? Can you retain your inner peace while drug addicts are screaming at eachother over who gets the spot on the floor next to the window? I left the shelter and found an abandoned building which is much more peaceful. Sometimes if I can't sleep I'll go back just to get a free cup of tea.
The only positive about the shelter is that there are guards to keep people safe. To have a "night visitor" can be an unsettling experience.
