Abstract
The increasing number of homeless and indigent mentally ill poses difficult issues for courts, legislatures and local governments. California has failed to recognize a constitutional or statutory right to community or mental health treatment. This Comment advocates that, as a starting point, counties in California have a statutory duty under the Welfare and Institutions Code to provide aid to the homeless and indigent.
