It’s not telling us anything new because we already have the answer supported by several other studies. Their mental illness is so debilitating that they cannot function and they need professional help. That help is now being offered and you’re expressing doubt? As you’ve pointed out yourself they have no one and they don’t have “good insurance”. What’s the alternative, keeping the status quo? Imo this is best scenario. Like the Drug War, we’ve tried the Reagan Kennedy experiment with the mentally ill for decades, and it has failed. It’s time to move on.
As a former homeless person myself and not someone from an upper middle class background, being more proactive with the mentally ill makes total sense.
Btw chronically homeless people tend to experience schizophrenia more often than ADHD. It’s much easier to be high functioning with ADHD compared to the mental illnesses that the homeless tend to deal with
