Usually the city options are “you can sleep here, leave your stuff in this insecure cubby, or take it with you. And you need to be gone all day. Can’t come back till 8p.” Not only that these places are dangerous full of violence, people getting raped, all their stuff stolen while they sleep.

It’s not like a dorm room. It is a bunch of cots set up in a huge room.

Yeah a box on the street sounds a lot better to me. At least it is your space and you can watch / protect your stuff.
