Fl- Best Friend Has Mental Illness And Is Homeless But Refuses Treatment

Hello,

I am reaching out for guidance regarding my best friend and former partner, a 24-year-old who is homeless and suffers from diagnosed paranoid schizophrenia. He refuses treatment, does not recognize his condition, and is currently in significant debt with no stable place to stay. He was in jail for trespassing for a few months and had everything taken from him no car no place to live and his credit is ruined and it’s so sad to see him in this position. He wasn’t able to pay the bail which is why he was stuck there for months.

I am concerned he may pose a danger to himself or others in his current state of mind. Are there any resources or next steps I can take to help him, especially given his refusal to seek treatment?

He has insurance on his mom’s plan but his family refuses to help him unless he gets help but he doesn’t want it and is in homeless shelter now.
