question: doesn't non-institutionalized also mean "not in a mental 
institution" (and by that I don't mean a university)?

(Of course, here in California there are few mental asylums, since the wise 
citizens of the state voted to solve the problem of the shortage of 
homeless by emptying the asylums. Of course, the promised community 
supports for the mentally ill either didn't happen or were grossly 
under-funded.)
