Meet Our Hosts...
Ohio Recovery Housing
Welcome to Ohio! As the proud host state for this year’s National Alliance for Recovery Residences Conference, Ohio Recovery Housing is honored to share our commitment to quality, connection, and recovery. Our mission is to support the development and operation of quality recovery housing throughout Ohio—safe and supportive homes where individuals can continue their recovery journeys with dignity and hope.
We are deeply grateful to our incredible partners—the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services who has supported and invested in recovery housing for over a decade. We would also like to thank our critical partners Ohio Citizen Advocates for Addiction Recovery, and OhioPRO—for their continued support and collaboration in integrating peer services into recovery housing as well as the wider continuum of care for Ohioans with substance use disorders. Together, we've built a strong foundation rooted in compassion, innovation, and integrity.
We're especially excited to showcase the systems and technology we've developed to streamline certification, support operators, and improve outcomes across the state. We’re proud of the work we've done—but even prouder to learn alongside all of you. Welcome to Ohio—we’re so glad you’re here!

Getting to the venue:
The Kalahari Resort is located approximately 50 miles (about 1 hour) from the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE)
Transportation to the resort is not provided by NARR - Attendees are responsible for arranging their own transportation to the resort. Convenient options include:
- Ride-Share Services (e.g., Uber, Lyft)
- Rental Cars
- Private Shuttles or Shared Rides
Ride-share availability is typically reliable when traveling from the airport to Sandusky
Return Transportation from the 2025 NARR Summit:
We know getting a ride-share from Sandusky back to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) can be difficult, so NARR is offering limited van transportation after the summit concludes on Wednesday.
**Registered Attendees will be provided with more detailed information closer to the event.
