If so, what changes have you seen with a lot of these mental health agencies?

I'm here in the south and I am seeing A LOT of these types of agencies cropping up. But the thing is, I'm seeing these agencies really aren't doing anything in terms of helping those with "mental health issues".

Many of the people being serviced are people who live in the projects with multiple kids. It's the same story, just different place. Some of these agencies have even actively sought out people who live in public housing because it is guaranteed money paid to the ageency by the govt.

This is NOT a troll post or anything, just wondering if you're seeing an influx of intensive in-home agencies and/or group homes in your area?

Both are lucrative businesses (meaning you can make A LOT of money in a little amount of time)

What are your thoughts and do you think there will be an overhaul and shutdown of these types of agencies?
