Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $101,354 spent. Certified that 89 New Hampshire recovery residences meet nationally accepted NARR standards to ethically operate and provide safe, home-like, peer-led recovery residences that promote long term recovery and successful integration into the community. Provided residents of certified recovery houses with a grievance and mediation procedure to ensure houses operated ethically and employed best practices. Represented over 27 residents in this process and employed lessons learned to improve recovery house practices across New Hampshire.
  2. $52,473 spent. 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.

  3. $23,217 spent. 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.

Without housing assistance, many people return to their community of origin and are unable to maintain recovery.
