Technical Assistance
Staffed by financial, technical, business, and treatment experts, the Fletcher Group provides organizations, communities, counties, and states with unrivaled Technical Assistance. Our experience in building innovative Recovery Ecosystems can dramatically enhance your organization’s effectiveness by improving collaboration, developing new partnerships, and blending otherwise fragmented funds and resources.
Research and Evaluation
The Fletcher Group has been awarded a $17.1 million grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). As part of the Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP), the grant will support evidence-based efforts to prevent and treat Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) in rural communities.
“We’re extremely honored,” said Fletcher Group Founder Ernie Fletcher. “This grant provides the resources to expand the full spectrum of evidenced-based Recovery Housing, including the highly successful Recovery Kentucky model, all across rural America.”
Training
Life Skills Training is now widely available to recovery housing and support services organizations, thanks to a Fletcher Group partnership with the esteened Elevance Health Foundation. Participating organizations can receive training, materials, and equipment at no cost plus a $1,200 stipend for implementing and evaluating the 12-session Life Skills Training curriculum. The program has proven to be an effective recovery aid by helping those in recovery build motivation, manage thoughts and feelings, cope with urges, and lead a balanced life.
But that’s not all. The Fletcher Group also offers many other training opportunities, including how to fund and build recovery housing, how to engage and organize communities, how to create a recovery to work program, and how to handle NIMBYism, among many others.
Funding
The Fletcher Group’s “Recovery Ecosystem” model combines self-sustaining recovery housing with a peer-support social model and a complete continuum of care based on evidence-based Best Practices. Debt-free facility construction and start-up are funded with a variety of blended funding streams, including support from local government programs, state and federal agencies including HUD, local departments of corrections, state housing corporations, community development block grants, tax credits, food stamp vouchers, and Section 8 housing vouchers.
Self-sustaining operation costs are funded through a range of collaborative partnerships including those with local government agencies, local departments of corrections, local housing authorities, Section 8 housing vouchers, and community development block grant programs, including per diem funds paid for clients that are referred to the recovery center by local departments of corrections.
