Affordable Housing
& Recovery Support
Building stability, restoring dignity, and creating second chances through safe, affordable housing and comprehensive recovery programming.
The Challenge
Local municipalities and counties have long been seeking to identify and address complex issues, such as homelessness, mental health and substance use, at a macro level; and they have partnered with health care, treatment providers, and nonprofit organizations to enhance local resources.
As infrastructure develops throughout many communities, there are still two major challenges that continue to go unaddressed – 1) motivating those in need of help to engage in services; and, 2) preventing return to use after services end.
Motivating individuals often takes sharing of experiences and encouragement that comes from hearing another person’s story. Here, the unique experiences of people who have recovered can instill strength and hope when all else seems lost; and the advocacy they can provide increases the probability of identifying and accessing proper care.
Preventing return to use requires connection to like-minded individuals (the local recovery community) and sufficient structure and accountability, especially during difficult transition periods. There is growing evidence that increased levels of support result in decreased likelihood of relapse, and thus overdose, recidivism, homelessness, and prolonged unemployment.
To summarize – exposing individuals struggling with substance use and mental health issues to persons with lived recovery experience (whether through formalized peer support or through connection to the local recovery community) greatly improves the likelihood of engagement in services, connection to additional supports, and improved quality of life. Recovery housing (sober living) not only addresses a critical need for housing of at-risk populations; but, it also provides this exposure Individuals who participate in sober living programs benefit from safety, structure and accountability; have connection to others on a similar journey; and are encouraged to development of healthy problem-solving and conflict resolution tools.
