Clubhouses offer non-clinical support system for those with severe mental illness.

Jordan Neely's death has become a symbol of the need to look toward solutions to get homeless and mentally ill people off the streets.

Neely was homeless, ranting about having nothing to eat or drink and said he was willing to die, authorities say.

The challenge of mental illness is often compounded by the problem of loneliness, Gorman says.

He has called for more federal funding for community-based programs like Fountain House .

Clubhouse members help the organization function; they prepare meals, man the phones, and fundraise.

Fountain House members like Carmen Murray-Williams have access to supportive resources.
