Schizophrenia & Psychosis Action Alliance and Schizophrenia Policy Action Network are holding a Congressional Briefing on Tuesday, February 10th from 12-1:30pm at CTA Innovation House in Washington, DC called, "Total Costs of Schizophrenia" to present findings from their new national analysis. If you are interested in attending it is free to join. Use this link to register: https://sczaction.org/solutions-series-2026/ -briefing

This Tuesday, February 10, S&PAA is bringing new, rigorous evidence directly to Capitol Hill to show where the true costs of schizophrenia actually fall, why those costs are escalating, and how smarter policy investments could shift billions away from crisis response and toward earlier, more effective care.

In partnership with Schizophrenia Policy Action Network (SPAN), we’re hosting an official Congressional Briefing, "Total Costs of Schizophrenia" to present findings from our new national analysis, funded and conducted by S&PAA and published in JAMA Psychiatry—including the economic and human toll carried by families, caregivers, state budgets, and public systems across housing, justice, disability, and labor.

This briefing will feature:

• Remarks from Congresswoman Andrea Salinas, Co-Chair of the Mental Health Caucus
• A presentation by the study’s lead author, Holly B. Krasa, M.S.
• A panel discussion with expert and lived experience perspectives
• Q&A focused on policy implications and next steps

Designed for policymakers, advocates, and stakeholders, the session will unpack how delayed care, fragmented systems, and untreated illness drive real-world outcomes—and why solutions must reflect the full scope of these consequences.
Our community deeply understands these costs. It’s time the world sees them clearly—and acts. Join us. Help ensure these findings translate into smarter policy and meaningful change.

Congressional Briefing: Total Societal Cost of Schizophrenia

In February of 2025, Help in the Home took an exciting step forward by moving our Supported Living Community to a new location in Rockville, MD. This transition allowed us to thoughtfully expand and refine the environment where our community members live, connect, and grow. As we settle into this new chapter, we currently have open beds available and are welcoming individuals who may benefit from long-term, community-based support. Check out our latest blog to learn more about our 24/7 housing community.
