You also need to clarify what you think the government should base the funding level on. Two people? Three? Four? Five? It's nice in theory to allow the government dictate how many people you need to live with to survive, but that's not how it should be calculated.

Generally, private sleeping quarters for different sexed children and non-spousal partners is a pretty reasonable take. I believe that’s also how most agencies also provide housing assistance?
I don’t think anyone is suggesting it’s appropriate for a 20 YO female to have no option but to share a bedroom. But renting a bedroom in a facility with shared washrooms/kitchens, like was and is pretty normal in a lot of the world is absolutely a reasonable standard.
