Conservatorship in California can be imposed on a person who is unable to provide for his/her/they own food, clothing or shelter due to a mental illness. Probably most of this population is on Social Security Disability Insurance, which covers the costs of housing, food and clothing. MediCal covers the prescriptions and medical care.
Why, one might ask, do we have so many mentally ill people living on the streets? Look no further than the one-party state and the California Legislature. The LPS Act, designed to provide involuntary treatment for the homeless mentally ill, has devolved into a dysfunctional system of court hearings, geared toward “liberty” rather than “treatment.”
Meanwhile, the mentally ill roam the streets. They have their liberty, and the free lawyers fight for their release from hospitals. When they “win,” after prevailing at a trial requiring proof beyond a reasonable doubt that they must be kept involuntarily, they return to sleep, eat and defecate on the streets.
I too am very sad to see the mentally ill wandering in confusion. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Ken, my post was a copy letter of a letter to the WSJ Dec 26,2019. The post was to show even though we have the LPS, it is difficult to enforce. The intent of the LPS Act was to end inappropriate lifetime commitment of people with mental illness and firmly establish the right to due process in the commitment process while significantly reducing state institutional expense.
The LPS a bipartisan bill was co-authored by California State Assemblyman Frank D. Lanterman (R) and California State Senators Nicholas C. Petris (D) and Alan Short (D), and signed into law in 1967 by Governor Ronald Reagan, and as you noted the mental hospitals were closed.
www.calhospital.org/lps-act shows a map that identifies 100 hospitals in California that are designated by the counties to receive LPS 5150 patients.

Unfortunately, the State of California where an estimated 20-25% of the homeless in the US reside have failed to do anything substantial to deal with this emergency.
16th January 2020 Los Angeles Speaking last week as he toured California to size up the devastating homeless problems in the state, California governor Gavin Newsom admitted, “Let’s just be candid; the state of California has been nowhere to be found on the damn issue of homelessness. We haven’t been focused on this issue; there’s a reason things are the way they are. It’s because we haven’t addressed them. It’s happened on our watch over the last decade; in particular, it’s really gotten bad over the last decade. And we were just slow to respond.”
