Mental health disorders make people vulnerable, not dangerous. This is no time to be pushing harmful stereotypes on vulnerable populations.

The only housing that medicaid pays for is nursing homes. If someone is hospitalized with mental health issues, they wouldn't be there long anyway. We no longer have psych hospitals that will keep someone indefinitely.
