I do agree that ice and meth have contributed to our homeless population. It is not however the only cause.
I have friends (psychologists ) that have spent a good deal of their life working with mentally unstable individuals. Bi polar, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders ruin the lives of individuals and bring grief and heartbreak to family members if left untreated. So many can be helped with the right medication and support as illustrated in "The Quiet Room", Lori Schiller..... "Living with Schizoaffective Disorder", Michael Crawford or "An Unquiet Mind, Kay Redfield Jamison . Reading these books has caused me to look at the homeless in a less judgmental way .
We as a society are not doing all we can for this segment of our population.
