having worked with those with psychiatric disabilities, one of the greatest problems is keeping up their meds. Anti-psychotics are very expensive, painfully expensive. If you're homeless, unless you have some sort of program access, there's no way you can afford them. If there is a pharm option in the medical coverage then that will go a long way to ameliorate that, with the consequence most likely of reducing homelessness.
