I was homeless for awhile due to mental health issues and this couldn't be more true. The people dealing with the homeless professionally aren't the people you would want dealing with them and the funding isn't there for anything better. A LOT of people end up worse off because of bad experiences when they reach out for help. That's certainly true in my case. I have autism and was a "gifted" student growing up, so it isn't like the system is impossible for me to understand. It really is that bad (in my experience and where I live).
