“People who want recovery shouldn’t have to live next to active drug use. Sober housing works because it builds a community of accountability, compassion and shared commitment to staying clean.”

Assemblymember Matt Haney, Chair of the Select Committee on Fentanyl, Opioid Addiction and Overdose Prevention

“We have to support people who are ready to take the next step in that journey of recovery, as part of a drug free residential recovery community, and make sure those opportunities are available.”

Assemblymember Matt Haney, Chair of the Select Committee on Fentanyl, Opioid Addiction and Overdose Prevention

“With fentanyl and other deadly drugs taking lives every day, we can’t ignore the needs of people who are ready to get clean and stay clean. We should be supporting recovery, not standing in the way of it.”

Assemblymember Matt Haney, Chair of the Select Committee on Fentanyl, Opioid Addiction and Overdose Prevention
