How can we demonstrate recovery housing works? How much recovery housing do we need? Who does recovery housing benefit the most? Previously, the answers to these questions have been elusive. Now, many researchers, state affiliates and others are collecting data, using powerful new tools to analyze data, and exploring how we can use the knowledge that we have gained to further develop both recovery housing programs as well as statewide infrastructure. During this session state affiliate leaders, researchers, and technology developers will provide information, best practice guidance, and answer questions on how recovery home operators can use and leverage data and information. The session will provide information helpful to those just starting to consider more robust data collection as well as information on how to leverage and expand existing information and data.
