Help for brother with serious mental health illnesses

Hi everyone!

I’m in serious need for big help, and I really appreciate of anyone has any leads at all that may help with this. To make a very long story short, I have a younger brother, 30 years old with serious mental health illnesses, such as schizophrenia and psychosis. Very sadly our dad, who was his main support, has passed away recently. This has taken a huge toll on him. He also has drug addiction problems that are becoming even worse with our dad’s passing. 

We would like to check him into rehab. But this is very expensive. Is there any way that we can get any grants or government help or funding for this? He is on ODSP but this does not unfortunately cover those type of bills. We are also looking to hire someone to stay some hours of the day with him while we are at work, to help reduce depression and isolation. If anyone has any experience or tips on how we may get some financial help for this, it would be so greatly appreciated. 

Thank you so much!!
