Didn't show any women or kids which would have really upped any contributions. Are there lots of separate shelters just for women/kids? I have no idea ....

Several years ago I dated a woman that worked for an organization that ran shelters for women who were mostly victims of abuse. They also worked with many other agencies and organizations. There are a lot more options for women especially if they have children then single men. In some cases if it a family with a husband, wife and kid(s) they will have the guy in one shelter and the women and children in another. Also, in many agencies women with kids get priority.
