Summary

Specifically, SAMHSA must

develop and publish on its website standards and guidelines for recovery housing;
award grants to states, tribal nations, territories, and localities to implement such standards and guidelines;
convene an interagency working group to coordinate federal activities related to recovery housing; and
arrange for research on the supply, quality, and effectiveness of recovery housing.
