[quote=Anonymous]You can't initiate a plan like this without creating and funding facilities that will actually address the mental health (and often addiction and physical care) needs of this population. All they are doing is burdening hospital staff in a stunt to make it seem like they are taking actions, but hospitals are not equipped for it. In fact, hospitals ALREADY do more to address the needs of the homeless an housing insecure than the vast majority of other institutions, and that's part of why hospitals are such a $hitshow to begin with. If Trump wants to create a federal program to help states create and fund programs for in-patient mental health and rehabilitation aimed at unhoused populations, GREAT. I would love to see my tax dollars used in that way. Just foisting the city's most troubled residents on the people already struggling to deal with them in their current capacity and calling it a day is nothing, it's worse than nothing, it's stupid.[/quote]
