A New Voice for Recovery Housing
CABAT is a new and growing coalition founded by leaders from nonprofits, recovery organizations, and community‑based groups who recognized the need for a unified voice in recovery housing. Formed just a few years ago, CABAT began in Orange County and has quickly expanded its reach across California. Our mission is to support recovery residence efforts, strengthen communication with local governments, and ensure fair, compassionate treatment for individuals in recovery. Though young, CABAT is driven by experienced founders and a shared commitment to building a stronger, more informed recovery housing landscape statewide.
