Description
The Recovery Housing Program (RHP), administered by FloridaCommerce, provides federal funds to expand stable, transitional housing for individuals recovering from substance use disorders, with a focus on supporting Florida's large veteran population. Funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, the program aims to help individuals in recovery achieve self-sufficiency and transition to permanent housing. RHP funds are distributed to eligible public or private nonprofit organizations and units of local government, supporting activities such as acquisition, rehabilitation, construction, and rental assistance for recovery housing.
