MassHousing has awarded $150,000 in financing to help create 27 new units of affordable sober housing in Worcester.
The MassHousing grants will come from the Center for Community Recovery Innovations Inc. (CCRI), a nonprofit subsidiary corporation of MassHousing that creates and preserves affordable sober housing in Massachusetts for recovering substance abusers. CCRI to date has awarded more than $6 million in grants for more than 1,500 units of substance-free housing in more than 35 communities for men, women, families, veterans, the homeless and ex-offenders.
"There is a great need for affordable sober housing throughout the Commonwealth and these two CCRI grants will help men and women in Worcester who are overcoming addiction and working to reclaim their lives as productive members of society,” MassHousing Executive Director Thomas R. Gleason said in a statement.
