An Analysis of the Impact of Deinstitutionalization on the Upsurge of Homelessness in America

This is an essay about deinstitutionalization. The term was first popularized in the 1950s to 70s and was an experiment involving the release of over 800,000 mental patients. Reducing mental hospitals and giving patients their freedom was appealing to liberals. It was also liked by conservatives who wanted to save money by cutting the mental health budget. The question that arose from doing this was the upsurge of homelessness. There are not enough supports in place, such as housing options, access to psychoactive medication, counseling, community health centers, and financial support to ensure that mentally ill people can function in society independently.

Jenn's feedback:

"Your paper is off to an excellent start. You have a great handle on writing conventions, so there are very few grammar, sentence structure, or punctuation errors to be found. You also did an excellent job with the formatting of the paper. Both of these aspects are very important for reading comprehension and writing cohesion. You have done a great job using supporting evidence throughout your text, with there only a few places where there could be better transitions or more elaboration.

The biggest thing that needs to be worked on is the paper's organization. As written, it does not appear to have an introduction or a conclusion. Include an introduction ending with a thesis statement telling readers what to expect in the body of the paper. Then include a conclusion that summarizes the main points you made in the document's body and relates them to the thesis statement. This is all you need to do to make it more apparent what the purpose of your writing is and to show that you stayed focused on that purpose throughout."
