STATEHOUSE (Nov. 19, 2025) – Communities can access funding to provide transitional housing for individuals in recovery from a substance use disorder through the Indiana Recovery Housing Program, said State Rep. Cindy Ledbetter (R-Newburgh).
Communities can use these funds to build recovery residences or rehabilitate existing facilities. Ledbetter said that providing long-lasting and high-quality recovery housing helps people recovering from substance use disorders maintain sobriety and rebuild their lives, impacting not only individuals but strengthening communities.
“This is a program that addresses one of the biggest chokepoints for sustained recovery from substance abuse,” Ledbetter said. “Providing stable temporary housing helps people in recovery maintain sobriety and move toward self-sufficiency.”
The program uses funds from a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant and is administered by the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs and the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration. Nearly $5 million was granted to the program from 2020 to 2024.
Eligible cities, towns and counties can submit proposals until Dec. 21 and applications for the Recovery Housing Program will be accepted until Feb. 22, 2026.
