Description
FloridaCommerce administers the Recovery Housing Program (RHP) using funding allocated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Authorized under the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act of 2018, RHP operates within the federal Community Development Block Grant framework under modified rules. It helps public and private nonprofit organizations and local governments provide stable, temporary housing for people recovering from substance use disorders.
Florida’s program emphasizes the recovery housing needs of veterans, with funding priority for proposals serving veterans’ groups. Supported work includes housing acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, rental assistance, and relocation. The goal is to help participants attain self-sufficiency, meet individual recovery goals, and transition to permanent housing. Although applicants must provide or coordinate participant services, RHP does not fund service-delivery or operating costs.
