This is assuming those homeless all want to be housed. It can actually be very difficult to get drug addicts or the mentally ill to stay in housing (just ask San Francisco).
And men and women aren't necessarily homeless, for the same reason. A woman fleeing household violence, with or without her kids, should not be housed in the same dormitory with male drug addicts, the mentally ill, and (mostly male) asylum seekers.
We have the same issue when housing female asylum seekers. It simply costs a lot more because you can't just hand them three-hots-and-a-cot, in a room with 30 men.
Germany also has spots for men fleeing violence, but they aren't in high demand. Men in this situation are much fewer and they can usually just move out.
