What Is Condemned To Homelessness In Psychiatric Facilities

The individuals that left the psychiatric institutions to come to the community, were often condemned to homelessness, because federal funding started going to other projects. Most people had no alternative shelter. Some were being neglected by their families, while others avoided the costly responsibility. Unless the family initiated contact, the individual’s fate was sealed. After the collapse of the community health centers, the majority of health practitioners became jobless. Apart from shelter, the patients lacked all other basic needs (Gilmore & Sillince, 2014).
