The story is accessible on the NBC site where we can feel free to tell NBC & a lot of folks who use Getglue.com what we think as advocates & homeless people about the story!
Here is my share of it on Facebook for our Getglue comment!
We are currently researching how NBC did their research on this script & whether they engaged any service providers or other advocates in LA to make the story as realistic as possible!
This is only the segment where the prosecutor makes his closing arguments - the whole episode should show up on Hulu.com soon we hope!
Watch it here too:

Check out pilot in GA - Tweet from @StreetoutreachR & @AbeOudshoorn
You ask, we share some hope!
@StreetoutreachR: Why haven't we done this yet? A ten year plan to address mental health and substance use in British Columbia http://www.homelesshub.ca/Library/Healthy-minds-healthy-people-A-ten-year-plan-to-address-mental-health-and-substance-use-in-British-Columbia-50230.aspx
To answer your question, there's a newly funded project in Georgia (Savannah Coastal area) brought on out of outrage that Governor was looking at closing Savannah's unit of the Georgia Regional Hospital when forced with budget cuts!
NAMI Savannah & Georgia chapters with the community banded together & said NO. We will stand in the doors to stop the closing without somewhere for our mental health patients to go.
Read the press releases & announcements at http://namiga.org - groundbreaking design with huge corporate & state matching grants ($4.3M so far) for a two years study with revolutionary peer support & case management systems & processes.
We are very interested in this program in South Georgia as it provides hope for the most chronically mentally ill & substance abusers in Georgia.
The model created will likely be adopted across the globe we believe & extended to more of our homeless & marginally served mentally ill & relapsing substance abusers we see on the streets leading less than productive lives.
Stay tuned here for more information as we engage & report on the progress. We plan on volunteering & supporting this most important & vital research study.

@AbeOudshoorn: Journalist goes 72 hours on the streets, well written, doesn't feel exploitative or sensational, just real: http://www.jsonline.com/news/opinion/97193264.html
