DEC Recovery Estates: Recovery Housing/ Affordable Housing Models and Recovery
Permanent Supportive Housing/PSH- Connection, support, sobriety, employment, and quality of life—these are all significant outcomes for people in recovery. Recovery, being unique to each person, warrants a range of housing options for people, whether they are transitioning from homelessness, a treatment facility, or even their own home. Continuums of affordable housing models from Housing First, to recovery housing, are invaluable to people in recovery in all walks of life. DEC Recovery Estates is community-based housing targeted to extremely low-income households with serious and long-term disabilities. It combines permanent housing with case management and wraparound care. Similarly, DEC Recovery Estates helps individuals and families sustain permanent housing quickly, regardless of prior engagement with services. Our Experience shows that this approach often fits within what people experiencing homelessness are seeking and there is documented success. In the last 60 months, with DEC Recovery Estates, Positive outcomes have been found in homelessness prevention and in successful transitions from shelter to independent living. It has also worked well with several specific subgroups, such as families and women.
