    I did a while ago and couldn't find one exclusive to men which is why I don't believe there is one. Some people will be able to if one for men exclusively exists though.

    And that college thing...Sums it up, really.

      Yeah I know about it cuz me and my bf looked into it one time. He was thinking of leaving for a job...and was going to send me to live near my mom.
      One little white lie about "single" and i would have been well taken care of while he saved up as much money as he could. So he would have peace of mind about his little family.
      im happy we ended up bot doing it tho... I about had a panic attack being seperated from him for so long.

      I just googled "men's shelters", and found a few in several places in the US, as well as in other countries.

          I also searched. Most listed on Google as men's shelters are actually for both men and women, but there were a couple men exclusive.

          I found this from the uk dating from 2003
          http://www.theguardian.com/society/2003/dec/21/socialcare.uknews

          and this one
          http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-12494071

          they exist, but you can count the number on one hand.

            They're battered shelters, not homeless ones, though. :/

            Anyway, there are several men's shelters across the US, for example some in New York, Charlotte and Grand Rapids. All of these can easily be found via Google.

          I included some links in my post yesterday but they got deleted.

          There are some in New York: http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/states/new_york/homeless/menshelters

          One in Charlotte: http://www.mensshelterofcharlotte.org/

          One in Grand Rapids: http://www.meltrotter.org/mens-shelter

          Those are just the first few ones I found. There could be more.
