As has already been pointed out, there are in fact plenty of charities serving the needs of men. Is there enough? Maybe not, but I suspect the same is true of women's refuges too. However, I'd like to highlight that women's refuges and most men's homeless shelters are actually dealing with very different problems. The problems faced by the average homeless shelter that principally serves men includes addiction and mental illnesses like you describe. Women's refuges don't tend to have either of those problems to the same extent, but schooling and former partners require their own set of skills. Equally, because the problems are so different, it makes sense to keep them separate (you don't want to put a six year old next to a meth addict, for instance). Could we do more for both of these groups? Heck yes. Ironically, some US cities have shown that the cheapest way of dealing with homeless men may be to... give them somewhere to live. Note: I lived in a women's refuge for a while when I was a kid.
