"Once upon a time people like her were put in a place where they could receive therapy, be fed and have a safe place to sleep."
When I was in college, a popular book on the left was "The Politics of Experience," by R.D. Laing. He argued that the idea of "sanity" is a social construct, and that people we regard as "mentally ill" are actually just people with a "non-conforming" take on reality, and that efforts to institutionalize these people are a form of political repression.
The ACLU adopted a position something like that, and Democratic politicians picked up on it. Thousands of crazy people were "liberated" and put out on the streets. All to often, these people become a menace to themselves or others, the police are called in, and the results are not pretty.

Agreed, but it’s not just FR.
The most trivial local news, or even minor disciplinary issues between schoolkids & their teachers, is on the internet “sparking outrage.”
We’re even weighing in on kerfuffles between grouchy neighbors— in other countries!

I feel so sorry for that poor woman.
Up through the forties and fifties, states and counties had what were commonly called "Insane Asylums" for such people. There was no stigma to the name then and the demented were taken care of and lived comfortably in them till they died. My mother had a dear mentally-handicapped friend in one of these facilities, and we visited her often.
Today we would call these asylums "Mental or Psychiatric Homes", but there aren't any anymore, thanks to the liberals who don't want anyone "locked up" even if they are extreme cases like this poor woman or those who don't want to be committed.
Many assisted living places have dementia wards, but most are not big enough so that the dementias who are more dangerous and who need a small room of their own cannot be taken in.
So, these people, like the subject of this post, find no sanctuaries to live in any more, and they roam the streets of the cities and hamlets taking their clothes off in public.
