MP31 - Advancing Quality in Shared Housing: Overcoming Stigma and Supporting Recovery

Monday, May 5, 2025

12:30 PM – 1:00 PM ET

Location: Hall BCD

Recovery residences (RRs) and independent living homes (ILHs) represent vital components of the recovery model in shared housing. These homes offer support to adults and families at various stages of recovery from substance use disorders or mental health challenges, as well as those transitioning from incarceration or institutional settings. This session will explore how quality standards can enhance the value of RRs and ILHs and foster community support, discuss the idea of “affordability” and potentially engage in a panel discussion to gain different perspectives.

Learning Objectives:

Explore the recommended seven quality standards in supporting positive shared housing.
Identify opportunities in reducing stigma when locating shared housing.
Discuss overcoming challenges associated with managing shared housing, including specialty populations (e.g. men with children, women with children and formerly incarcerated individuals).
