English term or phrase: compromised
"For him it did not. The city appeared to be a thing to challenge; an opponent of greater force that kept the Smithy at bay. His hammering seemed to reflect his own personal struggles with a world he did not, could not, understand. Conformity came as a relief; a space of retreat and ***compromised*** shelter."

abrigo / abrigo contra ameaças


Explanation:
Pela explicação abaixo, os abrigos são contra ameaças e ambientes comprometidos. Para o Brazil porém, creio que "ameaças" cobre as duas situações.

Shelter in Place simply means seeking immediate shelter inside a building, preferably in an interior room with as few windows as possible. This action may be called for during a brush fire, a release of harmful materials into the air, an active threat in the vicinity, etc. If the outside air quality is threatened or compromised, sheltering in place keeps you inside an area offering more protection.

Although rarely called for, Shelter in Place events can occur. When they do happen, these events are generally short lived, only a few hours at most. Understand a Shelter in Place order is not given lightly. A spirit of ready cooperation will make the incident go as smoothly as possible. Earthquake kits of food, water and other supplies can be used during Shelter in Place events.

  -> De nada, ainda bem que consigo "ensinar" alguma coisa útil. Numa situação de meio-termo, a resignação também está presente, aceitamos resignados ou conformados algo para chegar a um consenso.

agree  Paulo Ribeiro: Pelo contexto, parece que o "refúgio" vai desmoronar a qualquer momento. "representar uma solução de meio termo [sic] entre a prática atual e a situação ideal" (p. 1): http://www.fepam.rs.gov.br/Documentos_e_PDFs/Eolica/criterio...

abrigo abalado


Explanation:
Pra mim, compromised sempre me remete a algo que um dia foi bom, inteiro.

Segundo o Merriam-Webster, os sinônimos para compromised - blemished, bloodied, broke, crabbed, crippled, crossed (up), damaged, defaced, disfigured, endamaged, flawed, harmed, hurt, impaired, injured, marred, spoiled (or chiefly British spoilt), vitiated

Portanto, para manter o estilo da frase, eu diria "local de refúgio, abrigo abalado"
