Shelters were never a "good" thing. They are the bare minimum solution created by a society that believes all homeless are idle criminals who deserve nothing and should be made to disappear.

Bare minimum at luxury costs.
The only thing worse than this was the city of SF running a homeless encampment in a parking lot.
They were paying 5k per month per tent to a "homelessness NGO" who was operating that parking lot (3 meals a day, security and portable washrooms)

High executive salaries at these nonprofits are gross but they aren’t why costs are out of control. You could eliminate executive pay entirely and not make a dent in what the city pays.

It's probably stuff like this on every level:
Those shelters also provides "other services". For example, imagine how they bill health services for homeless people who lacks any health coverage.
I wouldn't be surprised if a typical shelter-provided "health care check-in" bills the city $400 for a 3 min consultation.
