THE ECONOMICS OF TREATING HOMELESS MENTALLY ILL

Venu Gopal Jhanwar

Deva Foundation, India

pproximately 10% of the population suffer with psychiatric illness, among them only 10‐20% getting treat-

ment. This gap in interventions is more striking for those with severe mental illness and homeless. Many of

the homeless mentally ill particularly women and children are kept in custodial centres with minimal medical

intervention. A public private partnership initiative by a NGO, Deva Foundation is quietly transforming the sta-

tus quo. This model being practiced, currently it is replicable and has interesting economic lessons pertaining

to spreading the monies far to leverage advantage for these dispossessed. The economics of the model and

suitable pan global alterations will be discussed.
