YES, to the article in general - though many of the government systems which interact with these people are profoundly dysfunctional. At least around here - Michigan, USA. For those who are intermittently homeless, due to mental health issues, and served by the public mental health systems - there seems to be no priority given to "find things that work for this client, then STICK TO THAT". Example - I've lost track of how many times a friend's niece has gone completely off the rails - because her latest gov't "psychiatrist" decided to switch her meds yet again, and she didn't like the new/different/worse side-effects. There's also the issue of organized homeless encampments. NIMBY's and most of the government seem virulently opposed to those - even if well out of sight on low-value public land, and more orderly and safe than many traditional (but bottom-end poor) neighborhoods and housing complexes. Why? Does a "better" homeless encampment fail to provide enough boogeymen and government interactions and head-bashing opportunities for the politician and bureaucrats and cops?
