JFK did The Community Mental Health Act 1963

He signed the bill and got the blame.

Reagan didn’t close institutions

In response to Mr. Robert Kahn’s June 27 letter on homelessness in the Conejo Valley, I would like to correct one glaring error that he made. Mr. Kahn states: “The Reagan administration closed all mental institutions.” I’ve heard this myth stated by some politically motivated individuals before...

JFK shut them down Community Mental Health Act 1963

I think the poster is talking about the Mental Health Systems Act of 1980, signed into law by Carter and passed a dem congresss.

The Mental Health System Act of 1980 provided grants for community mental health shelters. In 1981 that aid was repealed causing many shelters to close and a subsequent rise in the nation's homeless situation.

the 1981 bill, put all the different funding, into ONE grant to the State. The States then decided how to spend the money, giving them more independence instead of having numerous grants they had to apply for, each got one large grant.

If a state closed some down, it was because the state and locality didn't want it.

I am curious, in the 10 months before the grant program changed, how many shelters were opened that needed to be closed?

Michael Savage has railed against the ACLU being dragged into court for decades.

michael weiner is an insane, incorrectly-medicated nut with delusions of godhood.

False JFK shut down the mental institutions after his cousin was abused in one. Reagan gave block grants to the states in a bi partisan bill but they never built the needed mental health centers

Abused? His sister Rosemary was LOBOTOMIZED.

I imagine there were just a handful at most. I am curious in the 10 months after the repeal, how many shelters already in existence were forced to close?

The block grants were for community mental health centers not shelters. Only half were built

That would have been a state and locality issue, since the Feds still made the money avaialble, just gave the state and locality more freedom to decide what to do with it.

Don't conflate the mentally ill with the insane. Mentally ill people are often somewhat functional and are generally harmless. The insane and criminally insane are a different matter.

Which are you?

Until Reagan shut it down my city had a "halfway house" for the mentally ill.

In1972, Governor Reagan signed the Lanterman-Short-Petris Act (passed by the Democrat Legislature) to comply with court decisions that placed restrictions on involuntary placement in mental institutions. Please get your facts straight.
