Many facilities do have conditions that they use for safety and security reasons, and the recent pandemic has resulted in some places tightening their rules. Good luck

I don't think think so. You are a guest of the property owner, who can set whatever limits they want on those persons they allow to reside on their property. You say it is a shelter. So the owners apparently want to assure themselves that no guests can bring any kind of contraband onto their property, and they want to limit the times when people are free to come and go. You are certainly free to leave whenever you like, but if you wish to return it must be during the hours that ownership has decided to allow people to come and go. Apparently all you need to do is make sure you have everything you need before the gates are locked. Of course, you are always free to stay somewhere else.

And it makes no difference that you decided to use their address on your permanent ID. That was your choice, but it does not confer any particular rights by doing so.
