Most shelters in Seattle serve single men. Most explicitly do not allow women or children such that it is difficult for single women or families of any variety. I would love to see Amazon sponsor more assistance for homelessness but I think their first project serves a population that is otherwise underserved.

That's a good point. At least here in Amsterdam I know a few people who avoid shelters if they can because they are/feel unsafe. These were all men, so I can imagine it might be worse for women.
