Why it’s a priority

We seek to prevent people with substance misuse and mental health conditions from unnecessarily interacting with the criminal legal system. And for those who have, to support their recovery with access to a wide range of community support to prevent re-entry.

“The fact that you…give us width for experimenting and innovation and understand it won’t always work out perfectly is great. Keep giving us that width, and we’ll produce exceptional results.”

Grantee Spotlight: Tribe Recovery Homes

Tribe Recovery Homes provides substance misuse recovery support to individuals with criminal legal system involvement through structured, supervised living spaces, peer coaching, clinical counseling, and employment support. For those testing positive for substance misuse, social detox and re-entry into recovery homes are offered without shame or belittling the relapse.

of clients received mental health and substance misuse supports onsite through peer navigators and clinical therapists.

“We know that relapse may be a part of someone’s recovery. In a sense it is like learning to ride a bike. Sometimes you fall down.”
