PROBLEM:

Housing costs in recovery residences are not presently covered by private or public health insurance. Lack of insurance coverage for recovery housing presents barriers to individuals needing recovery housing and may also threaten the quality and sustainability of recovery housing at the provider level as well.

SOLUTION:

Develop an intervention to facilitate organization sustainability. The intervention will have two outcomes: 1) development of innovative funding models to address the financial gap created by insurance coverage ineligibility, and 2) generation of empirical research to inform new policy initiatives that advocate for RHOs insurance coverage eligibility.
