$661/mo Just throwing money at someone with a tenuous grasp on reality is not kindness. More won't help.

  I ask, gently and politely, what the alternative is? I'm genuinely interested in any ideas and I'm not asking to be confrontational. I'm mostly asking about people who don't pose a danger to others, but who have several episodes a year where they might require a short in-patient stay in hospital.

    A type of assisted living maybe? Someplace where food, shelter and medical care are provided, but not locked or anything - people are free to come and go (including to a job) as they please. Individual rooms with privacy of course.

  Yes, throwing someone with crippling mental issues out in the street is far more "kind". It's a stopgap, but one that exists because there are no good solutions. If you'd like to change the situation you're free, but sniping and scoffing is not mercy.

  It's not money to cure the condition with! It's living expenses. How much do you live on per month?
