Michimich.com/10300418

DETROIT - Michimich -- Personalized Nursing LIGHT House, Inc. (PNLH (https://www.pnlh.org/)) has received funding through the Michigan State Housing Development Authority's Recovery Housing Investment Program (RHIP), empowering the nonprofit to move forward with the purchase and launch of two new recovery residences. These homes will add up to 12 new recovery beds for individuals in early recovery from substance use disorder (SUD - specifically Opioid Use Disorder), creating critical housing stability during one of the most vulnerable stages of the recovery journey.

What This Means for the Community

• Two recovery homes are planned to provide safe, structured housing for individuals transitioning from intensive SUD treatment levels or from unstable living environments.
• The program will serve people who are early in their recovery and in need of community, accountability, and trauma-informed support.
• Clients will have access to peer recovery coaches, case management services, and outpatient services provided by PNLH.
• The expansion addresses critical gaps in recovery housing in Southeast Michigan, especially for persons with Opioid Use Disorder and who are underinsured and housing-insecure individuals.

This initiative is part of PNLH's commitment to holistic, person-centered recovery that integrates medical, behavioral, and social support systems. Housing stability is a key factor in reducing relapse, supporting employment readiness, and sustaining long-term recovery.

"We are honored and deeply grateful for this opportunity," said Joseph Paliwoda, CEO of PNLH. "Having a safe, clean, and supportive home creates a healing environment and is fundamental to laying a strong foundation in recovery. These homes will open new doors for individuals and will support their recovery journey."

"Transition out of treatment is one of the most critical times for individuals with substance use disorder," said Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, chief medical executive and Michigan Opioids Task Force co-chair. "It's a time when individuals face an increased risk of returning to substance use and stable housing is one of the most powerful tools we have to prevent setbacks in their recovery. Recovery housing is a medically informed, evidence-based solution that offers individuals the stability and support needed to maintain their recovery and rebuild their lives."

"Access to safe, stable housing is essential to successful recovery," said Lisa Kemmis, chief housing solutions officer for MSHDA. "Through the Recovery Housing Investment Program, we're proud to support partners like PNLH who are creating environments where individuals can heal, rebuild their lives, and move toward long-term stability."
