Would you be willing to be a registered homeless person who happens to have a mental health issue?

I am doing some research for a paper. So, please respond with this in mind. The facts indicate that many homeless people are afflicted with a mental health issue. Let's call them MILPs for short (Mentally Ill Homeless Persons).
My proposal is to ask for voluntary registration from MILPs who visit homeless shelters nationwide and ask they would be willing to register under this program over a five year period. The idea is that many MILPs are transients by nature, and that they may be hurting themselves by not getting access to many of our Country's social services timely because they have to open and close welfare cases, or contact Social Security with constant address changes to get uniterrupted assistance. By registering for this program, they might be able to get the much need support they require in order to stay off the streets longer and receive treatment appropriate to their condition without becoming a burden on local populations for emergency-type services. Thoughts?

My answer is no! I have been a homeless person with a mental health issue and at the time did not want any intervention in my personal affairs. I was happy being an indigent hermit living off the land. I was forced to seek treatment and it is a moot point whether I'm happier now or less a burden on society than I would have been roaming the countryside in search of something to eat and a shelter at night. I was "crazy" but free! As crazy as a fox! As free as a bird!
