I've been with several of the most helpless, untreated mentally ill folk who are homeless here in Eugene. They are in a deep seasonal depression, thinking of family who they used to be connected to and not having anyone even to talk to this Christmas. It is a tough time to not have available treatment, care, or shelter; and it is hurting many now in Eugene. All programs in Eugene are underfunded, understaffed and with no more shelter or other care to offer.
