Is there evidence that money wasn't put into "specialized housing, counselling and in and out home mental care"?

I'm sure a disproportionate amount went into law enforcement and arresting drug dealers instead of helping anyone. I'm just curious if there's data to back that up.

The resources are likely there already, just waiting to be redirected. I highly doubt the end of the war on drugs would significantly increase the supply than what it already is.
