A 2003 survey conducted by the US Department of Health and Human Services that the majority of mentally ill people need not be institutionalized. Many of these people live in communities that do not have proper support. Many are unable to obtain the proper support and do not use their medications. Without aid from The National Health Care for the Homeless Council or local charities many homeless are unable to receive proper medications. In 2005, a US Council of Surveys of Mayors showed that about 16 percent of the homeless population was diagnosed with a mentally severe problem.
