I was going to come to say something similar. At least in CA or the part I am in (very liberal) getting someone committed for a longer period (3 months + etc) - I think may be pretty much impossible? This can be despite a whole host of criminal and self harming behavior. Pre pandemic I think it was probably easier to get folks in at least for a few days at a time to jail pending disposition of whatever the latest case was - which was time enough to fix locks / windows / doors etc or move.
