At midday on a Tuesday in August, many are empty. But some are occupied by sleeping figures wrapped in their sheets. Others are piled with personal belongings: A Spider-Man blanket, plastic bags of clothes, stuffed animals.

That means that some buildings, like Next Door, a former car dealership, have their eccentricities. \u201cThis reminds me of a prison setup,\u201d said Marshall, the shelter\u2019s housing director, pointing to a small room enclosed by glass at the center of the women\u2019s floor that is used as a common area. \u201cCOs would be right here,\u201d Marshall noted, using the acronym for \u201ccorrections officers.\u201d<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\" style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin: 32px 0px; max-width: 100%;\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\" style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"694\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-beds2.jpg?resize=694%2C640&amp;ssl=1 694w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-beds2.jpg?resize=325%2C300&amp;ssl=1 325w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-beds2.jpg?resize=768%2C708&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-beds2.jpg?resize=1024%2C945&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-beds2.jpg?resize=400%2C369&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-beds2.jpg?resize=300%2C277&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-beds2.jpg?resize=706%2C651&amp;ssl=1 706w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-beds2.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-beds2-694x640.jpg?w=370&amp;ssl=1 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 694px) 100vw, 694px\" class=\"wp-image-653786\" style=\"position: relative; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-beds2-694x640.jpg?resize=694%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"A room with multiple metal bunk beds, some unmade, and personal belongings.

Street dwellers who chose to abandon their shelter beds told Mission Local they disliked being monitored by formerly incarcerated people, but Good said that this \u201cirrational fear\u201d was often just an excuse not to return.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"box-sizing: inherit; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; overflow-wrap: break-word; margin: 32px 0px; max-width: 100%;\">One Next Door resident, who asked to be identified as Mabiel, has lived in the shelter since he was released from prison. Sometimes, Mabiel said, life in the shelter reminds him of life in jail. Check-ins with staff can feel like reporting to a deputy. And the lack of privacy can be claustrophobic, he said. Nonetheless, he has remained for nearly two years in the hopes of being matched to city-funded housing.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"box-sizing: inherit; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; overflow-wrap: break-word; margin: 32px 0px; max-width: 100%;\">As he waits for a single-room occupancy hotel to become available, Mabiel said that he avoids sleeping face-down because he can feel everyone\u2019s eyes on him. At night, he said, he covers himself in sheets.\u00a0<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\" style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin: 32px 0px; max-width: 100%;\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\" style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-nextdoor4.jpg?resize=930%2C620&amp;ssl=1 930w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-nextdoor4.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-nextdoor4.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-nextdoor4.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-nextdoor4.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-nextdoor4.jpg?resize=400%2C267&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-nextdoor4.jpg?resize=706%2C471&amp;ssl=1 706w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-nextdoor4.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-nextdoor4-930x620.jpg?w=370&amp;ssl=1 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" class=\"wp-image-653798\" style=\"position: relative; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sized-nextdoor4-930x620.jpg?resize=780%2C520&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"A room with multiple metal bunk beds lined up, each with bedding and personal items.

Some of his neighbors, he acknowledged, choose to remain at the shelter instead of accepting housing because they don\u2019t want to live alone with their addiction.
