I'd say it's still a financial one, though highly complex. Not financial in the sense of "they're broke and homeless", but financial in the sense of America has terrible healthcare and within that terrible healthcare, mental healthcare is the bottom of the pile. And that's just financially - culturally we don't help each other seek mental health help either.
I imagine it's terribly complex, so I don't mean to simplify. I just have had the nagging feeling lately that we shouldn't have any homeless. It doesn't seem like a useful state of being. If you're mentally healthy but don't want to live a traditional life (job/etc), I'm not sure we should allow you to live under a bridge - go live in the woods, there's plenty left. I just can't see another way to look at the homeless problem.
It just seems that predominately people on the streets are suffering physically and mentally, and we're doing nothing.
