Our son was living in our home, our health insurance, we were paying for everything, but the system kept telling us he wasn't sick enough for anything. So we weren't getting any of the supports or information we needed to continue to support him. They told us that he needed to be homeless. He needed to have a track record of incarcerations, crises, suicide attempts.
