What a weird thing to take away from the article.
Certainly you can think of at least a few organizations tackling homelessness, untreated mental health disorders, substance use, relationship crises, disengagement from health services and conflicts with government institutions.
Seriously it's a single study into another topic. That's just how science works. I'll never understand when people get mad that a study exists and that it is somehow unable to cover every possibility of a complex topic in a single study.
I'm not mad the study exists. It's a useful finding. It's the framing of the article I object to. It could just as easily be framed that mental health treatment for men at risk or incarceration improves outcomes and is more cost effective.
At risk of incarceration for what
Drugs, minor theft, any of the various excuses police use to lock up the homeless and those having a mental health crisis. Lots of options.
Why did you bring homelessness and mental health crises into this? This article has nothing to do with either
I literally posted a quote from the article where it talks about homelessness and untreated mental health.
