New Hampshire Coalition Of Recovery Residences

Conducted approximately 30 training sessions plus a one day conference to educate recovery house operators and those interested in the recovery community on best practices as set for by the National Alliance of Recovery Residences. Topics included medication assisted recovery, disability, fighting NIMBY issues, co-occurring conditions, financing, underserved populations, LGBTQ+ challenges, rural recovery, etc. Brought a greater understanding of recovery housing as the service provided to the recovery community and municipalities. Assisted in the development of relationships between recovery houses, municipalities, first responders and employers across New Hampshire.

Administered a housing assistance program for individuals in recovery entering NHCORR certified recovery residences providing housing assistance to 80 individuals over a period of 6 months. Housing assistance allows people to enter recovery housing and covers costs until the resident finds employment and starts paying his own way. Without housing assistance, many people return to their community of origin and are unable to maintain recovery.
