Am I correct in my recollection that many people with mental illness were previously cared for in institutions?

My understanding is that society determined the "warehousing" of the mentally ill was cruel and the practice all but ceased.

Unfortunately for some, it is too difficult to function well enough to stay off the streets.

Being able to get along with employers, customers, friends and family can go a long way for someone who has has some bad luck.

Not getting along leads to homelessness.

It is in fact a complicated and sad issue.
