Ventura County Behavioral Health is seeking qualified providers to establish and operate interim recovery housing programs for individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness who have substance use disorders or co-occurring mental health conditions. The selected providers will deliver safe, structured, and substance-free residential environments that promote recovery, stability, and transition to permanent housing. Services include facility operations, peer-supported recovery programming, life skills development, and coordination with behavioral health and community services. The program emphasizes Housing First principles, ensuring low-barrier access to housing without preconditions such as sobriety or treatment participation. Contractors will also be responsible for staffing, compliance with regulatory standards, data reporting, and maintaining safe and habitable living conditions. This initiative aims to expand housing capacity, improve recovery outcomes, and support long-term housing stability for vulnerable populations in Ventura County.
