When: Wednesday, March 11, 2–3 p.m. ET
SAMHSA’s Center for Financing Reform and Innovation (CFRI) will issue a new report on Recovery Housing: Funding Sources and Financial Sustainability – Insights from NARR-Certified Recovery Residences that summarizes the investigation of how states can effectively expand access to recovery housing by addressing funding limitations and aligning policies to support the acquisition/construction of properties, service provision to residents, and sustainability. Recovery housing has been shown to improve various outcomes such as decreased substance use, reduced likelihood of reoccurrence, lower incarceration rates, higher income, increased employment, and better family relationships. Despite the successes associated with recovery housing, financing is a significant barrier to sustainability. The report discusses an array of recovery approaches and identifies strategies and funding mechanisms to sustain recovery housing as an essential component to support long-term recovery.
Learn more about this report during SAMHSA’s webinar which highlights findings from the report and how states can effectively expand access to recovery housing by addressing funding limitations and aligning policies to support the acquisition and construction of properties, service provision, and sustainability.
