Testimony: I support this bill as means to find an end to disenfranchisement through the general instabilities of homelessness. It takes no doctorate degree to understand that stability will help people better than pills and nowhere to go to deal with the consequences thereof.
People with dental and mental illness, often suffer from other factors such as displacement on the streets, rejection from society and depression. By fixing these things, the system can save a lot of grief and can bring a brighter future of productivity because we will have addressed the issues that plague our communities, lighten the burden upon already at-risk and struggling families, and move forward with a stronger society.
