Document Description
The proposed Opioid Settlement Funding - Sober Living Environment Residences Project·(Project) will acquire and either rehabilitate or construct up to four homes in various locations within Sonoma County. The funding for the Project is Opioid Settlement Funds obtained as part of settlement of nationwide litigation related to the opioid health crisis.
The Project consists of creating up to four residential sober living environments, to be situated in "single family detached" -type residences in existing neighborhoods and housing areas. The homes will be developed by either acquiring and rehabilitating existing residential structures or acquiring property and building a residence at each site. Use of existing residential structures will be prioritized. None of the homes will be commercial, institutional, or multi-family type dwellings or structures. The houses will be at locations that are zoned and legally permitted for residential use, and all development and improvements must comply with existing development and use requirements and remain consistent with surrounding uses. Project sites will be geographically dispersed, with no more than one house located in any given neighborhood. At least one of the homes will be in West County, with another in Santa Rosa.
Project beneficiaries will include persons recovering from substance use disorders, who will obtain safe and substance-free living environments in a communal setting with support from recovery providers and fellow residents.
