They are primarily federal and state funded, however they do get private funding from many different sources.
Many homeless shelters will not take money public money because they will not divulge information that is required to the local authorities. A lot of them is funded by private fundraisers and wealthy benefactors.

Is it in the Americas budget to open a homeless shelter for humans and animals?
Long story short, no. Not with the present amount of funding that homeless shelters receive nationwide. This isn't to say that they don't exist anywhere, but we won't see them becoming common any time soon. Often disaster shelters, which are usually short-term and better funded, don't even let people bring their animals. There are not enough homeless shelters and food banks to serve all of the homeless and hungry Americans. Shelters for homeless animals are only standard because euthanasia keeps their numbers down. There is a serious need for either privately funded organizations to help with these problems, or for more government funding. When Americans became concerned about euthanization for cats and dogs, "no-kill" shelters funded by private donations started opening. So if this becomes a big enough priority, or enough attention is brought to the issue, we can expect to see the same for people-and-pets shelters.

Why do rich people not help homeless people?
I find that the wealthy help more homeless than you may think. Think about all of the homeless shelters in America, food banks, that are funded by non-profit organizations. These organizations mostly depend on wealthy and generous donors, who donate their money by the thousands, even millions to help the needy. Even if that program is funded by the government, the top 5% of wage earners pay 53.25% of government programs in the United States. So chances are, that government program to help the homeless is funded by the wealthy by at least 50%.Alternate Answer:In the US most homeless shelters and food kitchens are privately funded. The bulk of the funding comes from the middle and lower classes. It is estimated that the top 25% income earners provide less than 10% of the donations of money and 0% of the donations of time. As for federally funded programs. The top 5% of wage earners typically pay a lower actual/real tax rate then the rest of us do and only end up paying 10%-15% of the budget. It has been shown that the top 2% of the wage earners actually pay no taxes in the US.Now why do they not help the poor? Simple, to do what is necessary to become rich one has to be narcissistic enough to focus exclusively on ones career and paycheck. These people need to keep the capital in their own pockets to increase their earnings thus taught themselves not to give. The middle and lower classes are typically Christian and follow a teaching of tithing and will give a high percentage of the wealth and time. This ability to help others is also what prevents them from doing what is necessary to become the rich person.
