A DePaul University study found that <br />a one-year stay in an Oxford House increases the chance of long-term recovery by <br />over 80%, providing the necessary recovery capital for self-efficacy. This ripple effect <br />benefits the community, reducing domestic violence, child abuse, poverty, <br />homelessness, hunger, healthcare gaps, unemployment, criminal activity, and <br />substance-related accidents. Notably, only 7% of those needing primary treatment <br />receive it, making Oxford House a crucial alternative that effectively breaks the cycle <br />of relapse for individuals seeking recovery from substance use disorders. <br />Drug courts, parole officials, and family treatment courts send clients to Oxford House <br />as an effective vehicle for establishing long-term recovery without relapse or <br />recidivism. Over 75% of Oxford House residents have experienced incarceration and <br />have succeeded in recovery at Oxford House. Freedom House is committed to <br />recovery support for men and women who have substance use disorders and mental <br />disabilities. Many Oxford House residents' journey started with detoxification at <br />Freedom House, or transition from the halfway houses, followed by recovery in an <br />Oxford House combined with continued outpatient services at Freedom House. <br />Community Empowerment Fund, Interfaith Council, and the Lantern program provide <br />Oxford House residents with person-centered support, financial education, and asset- <br />building tools. <br />If not awarded the Community Impact Award, we would like to continue to develop <br />and explore different <br />avenues to fund newly recovering individuals coming into Oxford House. We are <br />requesting $33,000.00 and further support its Peer Advocate Program. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 9ADEFAD5-C106-45CE-909F-ED02DFA16A16
