The deed includes a condition (providing shelter for those without) that, if violated, would allow Gardner or his heirs to reclaim the property.

A license is a temporary right to use someone else's property, and a life estate would only grant possession for the duration of someone's life. Therefore, neither of these options accurately describe the nature of the donation.
