I agree with you Pat. My own son died as a homeless person in Santa Barbara. He was homeless because he did not have an acceptable place to live. Mental "illness" had nothing to with his problems, as mental "illness" is simply a construct devised by our society to describe somebody who does not quite fit in. Yes, we do "need to be creative and understanding to help support people in different circumstances." Thank you for speaking up, Pat!
