Expanding Access to Recovery Housing
RHAI works to expand access to recovery housing by supporting the development of new recovery homes and advocating for the rights of individuals in recovery.
Recovery Housing Faces Persistent Legal Barriers
Recovery housing is a cornerstone of long-term sobriety, yet it remains one of the most legally contested types of residential living. To ensure these homes can exist, we must first understand the friction between federal rights and local restrictions.
A National Effort to Protect Fair Housing Rights
The Recovery Housing Advocacy Initiative (RHAI) is dedicated to advancing legal advocacy efforts that address barriers facing recovery residences. Through strategic collaboration, RHAI works to ensure that individuals in recovery have access to safe, stable, and supportive housing environments.
