Ok, but that doesn't explain if every homeless person had a place to stay why didn't they take it?
yes, of course mental health is a big part of homelessness which is why housing without wrap around services is not going to work.
In #California, the 5150 law needs amendment.

Mental issues make you do silly things. So no amount of law changes or money being thrown at it will solve it. Doesn't mean we stop trying but definitely means we understand that there are limits to what we can solve so unduly burdening tax payers with problems isn't the answer.

Mental illness is manageable. The objective is no people living on the streets.

How do you convince a mentally ill person to live in a vacant apartment for them if you find them on a street every day?

You can't just put them in an apartment without wrap around services. You need different housing for them that's not prison (too expensive) Attach mental health housing to existing hospitals and use psychologist and social workers to evaluate them on the street and expand 5150

So....are you suggesting restraining(arresting) them into those apartments because social workers and doctors cannot spend 24 hours with them.

it has to be staffed 24 hours by professionals. I wouldn't use arresting or restraining. Holding them thru a treatment program until some of them can exist on their own and then get them to permanent housing. Longer term transit shelter.

OK not an arrest, so what you're saying is if they want to leave, they should be allowed to leave?

Only if its determined by a psychologist that they can live on their own. Otherwise no, they are required to go thru a program and the services need to be available. Still cheaper than prison.

Just so you know, you admitted to be an advocate for an arrest unless proven to be a functioning human being. This will never ever pass with the Democrats. So if you want this to stop, do not vote blue.

arrest is a legal term. You can hold them for 72 hours if it's deemed they are a threat to others or themselves (legal). This is the period in which the evals are done and then if determined by a trained psychologist, the hold should be extended with treatment and then a re-eval
