Central City Concern Administers Recovery Housing

HUD User publishes a series of case studies based on federal, state, and local strategies that increase affordable housing opportunities and support sustainable community development. The projects and community development efforts featured in these reports have demonstrated innovation through a multitude of partnerships and initiatives.

Central City Concern (CCC), a nonprofit serving people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, poverty, and addictions in the Portland metropolitan area, offers transitional and permanent housing options integrated with social services, health care, and recovery assistance at 11 sites. Designated a federally qualified health center, CCC administers standard supportive housing that adheres to Housing First principles, in which residents are not obligated to enter substance abuse treatment programs to receive housing. In addition, CCC offers recovery housing in Alcohol and Drug Free Community (ADFC) units, which allows residents with substance abuse issues to pursue sobriety with the help of peer support in an environment where they will not be exposed to alcohol and drugs.
