Homelessness is a national disgrace.
If you live in a sunbelt state like I do, you can't help but notice the problem of homlessness. And according to credible research, the problem has grown dramatically in the last decade. There are a number of serious issues that contribute to this problem, and I plan to discuss several of them in the coming weeks. One particularly disturbing issue is mental illness. Despite the disproportionate number of severely mentally ill people among the homeless population, increases in homelessness are not attributable to the release of severely mentally ill people from institutions.
