Unless you have a citation that says otherwise, anything I've seen seems to suggest that there is little difference in the high percentage of mentally ill/substance abusers between chronic/non-chronic homeless.
- aidenn0 13y agoJust about every article I can find talking about substance abuse and mental illness in homeless specifically focuses on the chronic homeless so I inferred from that. A bit of googling turned up this non-scholarly article though that compares the overall rate of mental illness among homeless to that of the chronically homeless and found ~3x difference http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/09/AR2010070902357.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07...
