Access Foundation - Sober Living: Affordable Transitional Housing

Affordability is key to reducing stress 

Affordable housing plays a critical role in recovery from substance use disorders. Those who cannot pay rent or face the threat of losing their homes also face the stress that triggers substance misuse and relapse. It is difficult, while homeless, to address substance use without a safe place to decompress because the use of alcohol or drugs is often the go-to-tool for coping with the dangers of life on the streets.

Most residents at Access Foundation will attest to their need for safe and supportive living conditions to promote their long-term recovery, their health and wellness, and guides their reunification with family.

Our evidence-based supported employment services, peer recovery mentors, and coordinated community services are incorporated with our affordable housing. The result – high percentages of individuals recovering in our homes are still housed and employed one year later.
