SUBJECT: Referral to FHS from Sober Living Task Force
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
REFER to the Family and Human Services Committee the issue of use of the Old
Discovery House as a sober living facility for individuals transitioning out of treatment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
BACKGROUND:
The Sober Living Task Force is a collaboration of the Alcohol and Other Drugs
Advisory Board, Friends Outside, Phoenix Program, Health Services Department
Homeless Program and Shelter, Inc. The Task Force has requested to present their
report on the issue of use of the Old Discovery House as a sober living facility to the
Family and Human Services Committee.
The proposal of the Task Force is to use the Old Discovery House as a housing
project rather than an extension of treatment, and that the sober living program
would pay for itself through a tiered pricing system based on income level of clients
served.
The Task Force is developing a model and business plan based on client responses
to survey questions, collection of data from similar facilities/programs, and direct
contact with homeless clients. They are actively seeking the support of the Health
Services Department, as well as networking with the neighbors for their support.
