If you have been to a homeless shelter, does that affect your chance of getting citizenship?

If the homeless shelter takes the last four digits of your SS that is.

Also would that affect your future chance of employment?
 
Homeless shelter info is confidential. USCIS will need to subpoena their records and honestly i do not believe they have the resources for something like that

Having stayed at a homeless shelter does not affect your eligibility for naturalization in any way.

Under some extremely limited circumstances an individual could be considered a "public change", making him/her inadmissible and thus ineligible for an immigrant visa and adjustment of status. But after becoming an LPR this becomes irrelevant, and even for those people who could have been classified as "public charge" if they did not have a green card, this does not affect their eligibility for naturalization.

"Public charge does not apply in naturalization proceedings."
 
Can people who hire you see that you have been in a homeless shelter if they check your SS#?

inadmissibility and removability(deportability) are two different things even they are mostly same. Public charge
only affect inadsmissibility. If you are already PR, then you can only get into trouble fi you stay outside USA
for more than 6 months. Re-enting USA after more than 6 month stay is considered to be seeking re-admission
and all inadmissibility criteria can apply.
