I tried one of the adult centers while I was street homeless and they actually had a respite bed program that worked with various churches where they would send people to eat and sleep. This was pre-pandemic and they later got caught keeping client money that they were not supposed to be keeping. They had old people basically living there and they'd take most of their disability checks for feeding them and letting them sleep in a respite bed or in a chair every night.

It could be that incidents like this are why they're doing this. They probably want the kids in safer shelter situations. We had a few younger people there while I was there and it was not that safe. The men sexually harassed the women if we had to sleep in the chairs all the time. I was a fully grown adult and it was hard. I can just imagine having to deal with that as a kid.
