Please include specific quantitative and qualitative data in your response. What methods/tools will your organization use to evaluate the proposed program’s effectiveness? Please include specific examples, such as a logic model. The County reported that in 2022, 16.9% of the population lived with severe housing problems. OHI provides affordable housing and access to supportive services for individuals recovering. The ability to obtain and sustain safe, affordable housing is one of the most significant barriers facing persons starting their recovery journey. OHI targets economically disadvantaged adults and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, or national and ethnic origin, ensuring that special populations such as Latinos and persons with dual diagnoses will have culturally competent access to the Oxford Houses and the services of an Oxford House Peer Advocate. Oxford House is a national network of Peer-run, Self-sustaining, substance-free housing and is cited by SAMHSA as a best practice in sober living. A study by DePaul University found that staying at least one year in an Oxford House offers a greater than 80% chance of long-term recovery, leading to the recovery capital needed for self-efficacy. Persons finding recovery from substance use disorder experience a ripple effect that allows the community at large to benefit from that recovery through a reduction in domestic violence, child abuse, neglect, poverty, homelessness, hunger, absence of healthcare, unemployment, criminal activity, and chemically impaired driving related to substance use disorder. OHI shall submit data on all outcomes listed as required. Docusign Envelope ID: 9ADEFAD5-C106-45CE-909F-ED02DFA16A16
