The sad thing here is that quite a few years ago, many who were institutionalized were put out of care and made to fend for themselves in a world where they are ill equipped to do so. The tragedy is that some fall through the cracks of the system put in place to assist them, and sometimes they simply cannot cope due to whatever incapacitates them in the way of mental illness. Still there are places for them to spend their days as long as they behave according to the rules of the house, and housing provided through assisted living and hostels. In hostels, they are made to share a space with others in the same boat, and they have to relinquish their personal belongings to do so, which is often just a shopping cart full of things they traipse around with. I used to see one homeless person around all the time who looked to be in really good shape physically, and always very clean, as if he owned a gym membership and showered daily, but that would be the exception to the norm. In order to collect welfare, they need to have an address. Otherwise they do not even have welfare to help them with living expenses.
I already remember what you said about that but I don't agree with what she taught you.
