ORHF Voucher Program.

This program was created to make recovery housing more accessible during early transition, when stability is most important and financial barriers are highest. By offering short-term rental support and a gradual step-down model, the voucher helps residents focus on recovery, employment, and planning for long-term housing without the pressure of immediate full rent. It is a simple, practical tool that supports both residents and providers throughout the transition period.

 

What the Voucher Covers

​

  • A monthly rental voucher paid directly to the recovery home

  • Up to 12 months of support

  • Available only in recovery residences that meet NARR standards

  • Designed for people in early recovery, including those engaged in IOP or outpatient treatment

 

The voucher does not need to be repaid.

 

Eligibility

​

You may qualify if you:

​

  • Are 18 or older

  • Are experiencing homelessness, exiting treatment, leaving incarceration, or in another unstable living situation

  • Have income below 50% AMI

  • Choose a participating NARR-compliant recovery home

  • Agree to follow house rules and remain abstinent

  • Participate in treatment if enrolled (including IOP)

  • Meet milestone requirements during the voucher period

 

Accountability & Milestones

​

The voucher program is supportive, simple, and structured. Residents agree to:

​

  • Weekly check-ins with house staff or peer mentors

  • Participation in recovery activities or treatment (including IOP for those arriving from Another Chance or similar programs)

  • Employment engagement beginning in Month 4 (after 90 days of stabilization and treatment focus)

  • Financial milestones at 90 days, 6 months, and 12 months

  • Development of a long-term housing plan before the voucher ends

The first three months prioritize stabilization and treatment, acknowledging that early recovery often requires time before adding employment expectations.

 

Partner Home Requirements

​

To participate in the ORHF Voucher Program, housing providers must:

​

  • Be NARR-certified or formally NARR-aligned

  • Maintain a safe, drug-free, recovery-oriented environment

  • Provide on-site or readily available peer support

  • Conduct random drug screening

  • Maintain clear resident expectations and accountability structures

  • Participate in ORHF reporting and communication protocols

  • Coordinate with treatment providers (IOP, peer support, medical/behavioral health partners)

This ensures all residents receive a consistent, high-quality recovery housing experience.

 

Our Goal

​

To make recovery housing accessible, support early stabilization and treatment, and help residents transition into permanent housing within 12–24 months.
