No, not all homeless people go to homeless shelters. Some may prefer to stay on the streets, in their cars, or in other temporary accommodations due to various reasons such as safety concerns, personal choice, or lack of availability of shelter space.

In most cities there are shelters that give many of the homeless population a place to sleep and usually a meal. The problem is that there are too few shelters and far too many homeless people. The shelters fill up fast, especially in cold weather. The alternative is a night curled up under a tree or bridge, hopefully in a place where they won't be victimized by whomever happens by. Homeless people are quite often targets of crime. The Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul are two organizations that help the homeless and destitute. There are many others by different names, sometimes local churches can provide some relief in their community.
Most homeless people live on the street, some stay at homeless shelters.
