This paper describes an innovative program that provides rental subsidies for sober housing and supportive services to persons in early recovery who are homeless and have substance use disorders. Preliminary data point to the success of this program in enhancing recovery and exiting from homelessness. In supporting sober house placements, the Treatment Access Project creates a bridge that supports these individuals in their transition from clinical treatment services to the community. Integration with natural community supports can help to build self-efficacy, which can enhance the likelihood that this population will obtain and maintain abstinence, gainful employment, and permanent housing.

Moreover, there are few studies of cannabis use among SLH residents that can be used to inform cannabis use policies. Here we assess whether cannabis is related to alcohol use among SLH residents.

- Recovery residences are emerging as supportive environments for individuals receiving MOUD, yet there is limited understanding of how these settings promote medication-assisted recovery (MAR).
- A study involving interviews with 93 residents in Texas found that recovery residence staff effectively connected residents to MOUD providers, fostered supportive communities, and helped overcome logistical barriers to accessing treatment.
