States and Health Systems Find that Housing Services Can Improve Mental Health and Reduce Costs
While we often think of health care as occurring in a physician’s office or hospital room, the most effective care can take place outside of a medical setting.

United States of Care Recognizes Mental Health Awareness Month
During Mental Health Awareness Month, USofCare affirms our commitment to promoting policy solutions that ensure people with behavioral health conditions can access affordable care. Mental health affects everyone, yet our health care system continues to treat behavioral health as a specialty service. We strongly encourage states to take steps to increase the affordability of mental health treatment, enforce mental health parity laws, and simplify the claims process so families will not unfairly be denied coverage.
