Leah Davies - CLEAN Cause Foundation / Cause CHANGE Collaborative
A community-university collaborative research project was developed to investigate the business operations and financial management challenges and opportunities of recovery home providers operating in Texas. This original research aimed to generate empirical research to inform approaches to bolstering the sustainability of recovery housing organizations. The findings from this research project led to the development of several recovery housing business sustainability tools: a business model canvas, an innovative sustainability toolkit that supports best practices such as the NARR standards, and an upcoming recovery housing cohort program with specialized technical assistance and training to increase the business sustainability of recovery homes throughout the nation.
