HOUSTON RECOVERY RESIDENCE NETWORK

Powered by Sharpen Recovery

"Saturating Greater Houston with quality recovery housing."

The Houston Recovery Residence Network (HRRN) is a collaborative initiative designed to strengthen the recovery housing industry across Greater Houston by equipping leaders, promoting quality, and cultivating a supportive community of operators. While HRRN does not certify or enforce recovery housing standards, it aims to unite providers and elevate care through four key areas: Sharing Resources, Driving Collaboration, Promoting Quality Care, and Training & Support. This is accomplished through two main initiatives:


  • Collaborative Network Gatherings (Three Events Per Year)


  • Recovery House Launch Cohort (First Cohort Lunched June 2025)

Sharing Resources

HRRN gatherings present relevant information that supports recovery housing operations. Guest speakers share tools, strategies, and updates on best practices. Between meetings, HRRN distributes email updates and maintains a centralized repository of resources to support both emerging and established recovery houses. These efforts ensure operators stay informed, connected, and equipped to serve their participants well.


Driving Collaboration

At the heart of HRRN is a commitment to community. The network facilitates exclusive quarterly gatherings for current and aspiring recovery housing operators, creating space for meaningful relationships to form. New providers are naturally connected with experienced leaders for mentorship and practical guidance. Ongoing communication is encouraged between meetings to promote mutual support and idea-sharing. While HRRN does not mediate disputes or take responsibility for program outcomes, it cultivates a culture of humility, shared learning, and trust.


Promoting Quality Care

HRRN champions excellence in recovery housing by leading peer-driven discussions on improving care standards, often referencing national frameworks such as the NARR 3.0 guidelines. While it does not conduct evaluations or offer certifications, HRRN actively encourages alignment with accrediting bodies like the Texas Recovery-Oriented Housing Network (TROHN). Participation is open to all operators, regardless of accreditation status, and the network regularly shares evidence-based practices that strengthen participant outcomes and long-term recovery success.


Training & Support

Through both group and one-on-one formats, HRRN offers practical training on every stage of the recovery housing journey—from discerning one’s calling to opening, operating, and scaling a recovery housing organization. Topics include program structure, sustainability, community referral plans, and mission alignment. HRRN also supports current operators in navigating local regulations and HOA-related issues. HRRN does not serve as a substitute for legal or financial advisors and does not issue formal judgments on program quality.
