The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration awarded Live Rite Structured Recovery Corp $350,000 on September 30, 2026, under the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment Projects of Regional and National Significance program (CFDA 93.490).

The Housing, Uplift, and Belonging (HUB) Initiative expands recovery support services throughout Macomb County, Michigan, for adults with substance use disorder and co-occurring disorder. Live Rite will deliver peer recovery coaching, recovery housing, workforce development, transportation assistance, family recovery coaching, and coordinated recovery support services through a 14,000-square-foot Recovery Resource Center in Roseville. The initiative targets adults 18 and older experiencing barriers to sustained recovery, including unstable housing, unemployment, transportation challenges, limited recovery support networks, justice system involvement, and limited access to recovery-oriented services. Services will coordinate with healthcare providers, treatment organizations, medication for opioid use disorder providers, and employers to improve recovery stability, increase employment and housing outcomes, and strengthen community recovery infrastructure.

The project will serve 175 unduplicated participants in year one, 210 in year two, and 250 in year three, for a total of 635 unduplicated participants across the three-year period of performance (September 30, 2026 through September 29, 2029). Services extend to eligible family members alongside the primary adult population. Live Rite is a woman-owned, tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Roseville and registered with the federal government since June 2017.
