The Continuing Sobriety Housing Voucher Program will begin as a pilot with up to 25 people. It will be aimed at folks who are exiting detox or residential treatment programs and it will require continued sobriety, and ongoing enrollment in Narcotics or Alcoholics Anonymous. Participants would also be subject to drug screens to maintain enrollment.
