The invalid inference to make about the excerpt would be:

"People found it important to give the mentally insane a safe place to live."

This statement is not directly implied or supported by the other pieces of information presented and could be considered an assumption rather than a fact drawn from the excerpt. The other inferences more directly relate to the perception and treatment of mentally insane individuals based on qualifications and societal views.
