Recovery Housing Program (RHP)

The Recovery Housing Program (RHP) allows states to provide stable, transitional housing for individuals in recovery from a substance-use disorder. This page provides information about the administration of this program, including program plans and public hearings.

The Pilot Program to Help Individuals in Recovery from a Substance Use Disorder Become Stably Housed (Recovery Housing Program), was authorized under Section 8071 of the Support for Patients and Communities (SUPPORT) Act in 2020. The Recovery Housing Program (RHP) allows states to provide stable, transitional housing for individuals in recovery from a substance-use disorder.

The Commonwealth is using these funds to assist individuals who are seeking to move into a certified sober home but have no or limited income and for current residents of certified sober homes who have lost their employment and need financial assistance to maintain their housing. EOHLC has an Inter-departmental Service Agreement (ISA) with the Department of Public Health/the Commonwealth’s Bureau of Substance Addiction Services (BSAS) who currently contracts with MASH, the sober home certifying organization to implement.

Funds are used for rental vouchers to pay weekly rent to certified sober homes.
