PUBLIC NOTICE - - - State of Louisiana Recovery Housing Program Notice of Funding Availability The Recovery Housing Program (RHP) provides funding for states and the District of Columbia to provide stable, transitional housing for individuals in recovery from a substance use disorder. The funding covers a period of not more than two years or until the individual secures permanent housing, whichever is earlier. Housing stability is fundamental to recovery and a critical factor contributing to positive outcomes. For many individuals, achieving and maintaining recovery from a substance use disorder is hindered by a lack of safe, affordable housing that is supportive of recovery. Recovery housing provides support to individuals as they initiate, stabilize, and maintain long-term recovery in the community. This funding would help the residents secure housing during their recovery process, which would be beneficial to the long-term recovery process. RHP was authorized under Section 8071 of the Support for Patients and Communities (SUPPORT) Act. The State of Louisiana Office of Community Development (OCD-LGA) was allocated $1,430,882 for FY 2025 in funding under the Recovery Housing Program (RHP) and has $78,882 reallocated from previous years funding. All interested parties must complete the Letter of Intent (LOI) process and submit a separate LOI for each organization in which funding is intended to be utilized. The LOI serves to inform the OCD-LGA of an organization's intent to apply for RHP funding for acquisition, new construction, or rehabilitation. This is not an application. The LOI must be submitted by email to Fenishia Favorite at Fenishia.favorite@la.gov no later than midnight May 1, 2026. Once your organization’s LOI has been reviewed, an email notification will be sent. If selected to move forward, your organization will be invited to submit a full application. Non-English speaking persons and persons with disabilities requiring special accommodations should contact the Office of Community Development located at 1201 N. 3rd Street, Ste. 3-150, Baton Rouge, LA 70802; 225-342-7412.
