In 2009, WSTC saw an opportunity to expand our services and give our clients a better chance at long-term recovery. That year, WSTC was able to open Fuller House to provide supportive housing for chronically homeless, chemically dependent women and their children. Safe and sober housing is an essential component of recovery, according to the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). In fact, recovery housing has been helping people overcome chemical dependency since the late 1800s.
What is recovery housing? It’s not just a safe place to live, although that’s a critical component. Our residents also have access to services that include chemical dependency treatment, wraparound case management services, vocational services, life skills building, and transportation. The WSTC Housing Case Managers provide support, assistance, and advocacy for all those who live in the home, ensuring that the services provide a “step up” rather than a handout.
