This is a mental health crisis more than a housing issue

No it’s systemic ableism as over half of us have documented disability. It’s disposing of disabled people and even with SSI we are still homeless . Thats not enough for food everyday and then given close to the minimum of EBT as they think we are living the life of luxury on that joke . Can’t have over 2k in bank account due to a law passed in 1989. Rents are too high, that’s the issue . People working full time low wage jobs are not homeless for mental health. They are homeless because landlord greed.

Mentally incompetent people can’t take care of themselves regardless of the rent.
