Our Mission

To provide hope and recovery through treatment and housing services for individuals and families suffering from mental illnesses

Schizophrenia can be found in approximately 1.8% of the world’s population

Challenges & Solutions

Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe brain disorder that can be completely disabling if untreated. In the United States, 2.8 million adults live with schizophrenia, and 40% of them receive no treatment. This means 1.12 million Americans are suffering from symptoms like delusions, altered senses, and changes in emotions and behavior without adequate support. They didn’t ask for this; they need your help.

Over 20% of our country’s homeless population has schizophrenia. They need your help.

Government programs fall short in providing the necessary assistance. The average monthly expenses for one person were $3,693 in 2022, yet the average Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) is only $1,537 per month. Most individuals with schizophrenia haven’t been able to contribute to this program, leaving them significantly underfunded.

If you’ve seen the conditions in psych wards and group homes, you wouldn’t want to send your child there. They are often unsanitary and managed by underpaid, frustrated staff.

Our Solution

Engalla Hope Foundation is building group homes for individuals with schizophrenia that are not just clean and acceptable but peaceful and serene—places our country can be proud of. We are committed to taking care of those who can’t take care of themselves. Ignoring this problem leads to unfortunate events in our communities. This isn’t the fault of individuals; it’s our responsibility to fix it.

Help us get more individuals into EHF Care Homes, where they will be treated with respect and allowed to live safely and stably. Join us in making a difference. Together, we can create a better future for those in need.

Help Us Fund A Real Solution

This is a multi-year journey that starts with helping 100 people this year. Best-in-class treatment and housing that makes a difference costs over $50,000 per year, per individual. Engalla Hope Foundation is looking for $5M in donations to make a difference for Houston.

Our Story

We were a “normal” family, husband, wife, four kids, good in school, involved with after-school activities, lots of “goals” for our kids. What we thought were developmental “gaps” were early signs of schizophrenia. By the time Brett was 18, our hope for a productive life vanished. We had lost our son to something else we did not understand.
