What is worse? a shelter or filth?
I am currently staying in a house filled with ant's roaches, garbage all over the house, dirty diapers all over the house, poop smeared all over. the stench makes me want to vomit, I am scared to eat because who knows what is touching the foods. I am scared to walk without shoes, or use the bathroom. I really think I would rather go to a homeless shelter, but I hear they have bugs too. Has anyone ever been in a shelter? especially one in Florida? That is where I am currently staying. Can someone tell me the pro's of each of thees places?!
so my question is, What is worse? a homeless shelter, OR a filthy sickning invoronment with a friend?
** I do not have the option to clean the house because it is not my house to clean, I am staying here with a friend who actually told me NOT to clean. They are hoarders**

Why don't you just clean the house?
Edit:
Oh! ewww! Well, I guess it depends on the shelters in your area then. Do you have the option to try a shelter ( or a few) and then go back if it's intolerable? Or is it choose, one or the other, no going back?
I've been in shelters before (not any in Florida) and the pros are a place to sleep, food, maybe other necessities like pads, showers, clothes etc., and sometimes nice volunteers. They usually know what else is out there for homeless in the area-other shelters, soup kitchens, day labor, where they give you this or that. How and where to apply for this or that. Networking with other homeless. Stuff like that.
The cons- They are usually pretty crowded, and if your a girl you usually end up in a women only shelter which means tons of kids and babies everywhere. Sometime you get stressed or unhappy/unwilling volunteers who can be mean or bully and you still have to be all thankful and respectful even if they aren't. They just assume you have a drug problem a lot, and treat you like you do. Check in is usually long and frustrating and often has to be repeated daily.
You need to watch out for illnesses, especially respiratory stuff-they spread so fast. Lice and fleas. Other homeless packed in with you, it can get stressful, and theft. I'm not saying all of this happens at every shelter everyday-you want to check and see what the deal is though. Feel the place out.
Personally, I always preferred being out and about. A tent or a squat. But I always had a "battle buddy" (a good trusted friend) with me, so we could watch out for each-other.

I would contact the local social service, and tell them my situation if I were you.
