Government Requesting Information from Community-Based Agencies for Sober Living Homes

The Provincial Government has issued a request for information to community-based agencies to establish and operate sober living homes throughout the province.

The facilities, also referred to as recovery homes, are substance-free living environments that support people as they abstain from alcohol and other drugs and pursue personal growth.

They also offer a structured and supportive setting that helps residents develop the skills and confidence needed to abstain from substance use, reduce hospital stays, reduce readmission to hospital, and increase connections to community supports.

Submissions will be evaluated based on the location and number of beds, referral criteria, service delivery and staffing, service quality and safety standards, length of stay and housing transition planning, and timeline and financial considerations.
