Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Some people experiencing homelessness have individual characteristics that, in interaction with the structural conditions of a shortage of affordable housing and insufficient income, perpetuate their homeless conditions. Supportive services for these people are deficient in quality and quantity. Some people need services to work and earn money. They are able to function in the workforce, whereas others need services to maintain their housing status. Included in this latter group are people whose serious chronic mental health and/or substance abuse problems preclude their functioning in the workforce and whose behaviors interfere frequently with their ability to obtain housing stability. People in this group need income assistance and comprehensive and accessible behavioral and physical health care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Depression is the most frequently diagnosed and one of the most disabling mental illnesses in the United States. Depressive disorders affect approximately 18.8 million American adults or about 9.5 of the U.S. population age 18 and older in a given year. Acute stress disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia are not diagnosed as frequently as depression.
