Maybe we can agree on something! I think the funding for mental health services is inadequate and more attention to this could eliminate a lot of other social problems.

If one was to lose their job (as many people now are due to the economy) then have difficulty in obtaining another that will cover the bills it will often lead to losing their home (when the loan they have is of a greater value then that of the house). When that's happened you can kiss your family goodbye because you're not much good to them anymore (especially when all you have left is stress, financial hardship and a whole heap of arguments as a result)... that's all it takes. Then you hit the bottle to numb the pain and get stuck in a rutt... It has nothing to do with "lack of intelligence" being "of the underclass, white trash with inadequate mental capacity",or "Low intelligence" or a "permanent intellectual disability". Many homeless people have had; a job, a family and a home. & Many homeless people will have; a job, a family and a home. Everyone is only 3 steps away from being homeless.
