Houses.

You see, the answer is simple but there is just no will to do it because people do not care about the mentally ill. We scare people for no reason but their own ignorance. I would say 90% of the mentally ill would have a great remission of their symptoms if they had stable housing.

I am homeless, all I need is a simple fcking studio but even making a lot of money from disability I cannot afford one anymore and I get shut down by people who do not want to rent to me because I am on diability.
