Rural Rebirth Through Rural RH

Ready, set, grow!

The Fletcher Group Rural Center of Excellence is all In when it comes to expanding the capacity and effectiveness of Recovery Housing in rural America. That’s why we’re so excited about our inaugural 2022 Summit in Memphis—the home of the blues and birthplace of Rock ‘n Roll!

Unleashing The Power of Rural Recovery Housing

Amidst a nationwide opioid crisis and a worldwide pandemic, we could all use a little help. And you’ll find plenty of it in Memphis—all the latest innovations and Best Practices that are rapidly reshaping our industry, from peer workforce development to ingenious funding models that enable debt-free construction and lasting sustainability.
