2. Rebuild and reopen long term residential facilities for severe mental illness. 3. Increase funding for mental health treatment by 10 fold.

You could rebuild and invest in facilities. You could open drug rehab centers. Fully tax payer funded.

Problem is the courts will never support being involuntary committed. You'd never get it past legal challenge and there's no fail proof system. You'd end up getting someone committed who shouldn't be...and it'd become some scandal.

Modern America isn't prepared for the harsh realities of having to confront mental illness and drug abuse to resolve homelessness.

You'd have to take harsh style Soviet or CCP enforcement tactics to make it successful. Some individuals would not comply voluntarily.
