Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Chronically homeless people may well have many physical conditions, but the primary problems that lead to their homelessness are severe mental illness and substance use disorders.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The commission acknowledged that mental illness comprises the only type of illness that defies a comprehensive delivery approach. This is due to the way the state and local governments organize, manage, and carry out distinct treatment systems, making comprehensive care impossible in the larger health care system. Thus, the commission called for a shift in the fragmented system to an integrated comprehensive approach to mental health care delivery. The commission did not suggest a drastic increase in funding or scholarships or suggest that the federal government take over responsibility for mental health care for all citizens.
