“not nice” is doing some competition level heavy lifting. Getting barely enough food, just that little bit of hygiene, all your things in one bag, surrounded by helpless or crazy people and desperation so great you are constantly paranoid you might get abused or robbed. All of the safety and security you want a home for is hardly available in a homeless shelter.
It’s like saying being in prison is also living. Sure, on a technicality. But in real life no one would agree - prison makes people age faster for all the wrong reasons.

Being in a shelter hardly qualifies as having a home. Unless you like shelters maybe…

If you have a room in a shelter every day, you’re not homeless. It’s not nice, but it’s not homeless.

If you don’t have a lease in your name, you’re homeless.

You should learn what a “home” is.
