We are thrilled to announce the opening of Vermont Foundation of Recovery’s tenth certified recovery residence — a new home for women in Essex Junction. This milestone strengthens a statewide network of certified recovery homes and reflects our continued commitment to expanding safe, structured recovery housing across Vermont.

This new expansion includes six recovery residence beds and four transitional apartment beds, designed to support women in early recovery from substance use disorder through support, accountability, and connection. With this expansion, VFOR now operates 79 recovery beds statewide, reflecting a 40% increase in capacity since September 2024.

Recovery residences play a distinct role in the continuum of care. They are nonclinical, programmatic environments grounded in shared expectations, peer support, and personal responsibility. They are places where hope is rebuilt, where individuals can focus on recovery, rediscover their strengths, and begin to imagine what comes next.

This expansion was made possible through a partnership with Champlain Housing Trust, allowing each organization to focus on its expertise while supporting strong recovery outcomes.

Applications are now being accepted for January occupancy, with a ribbon-cutting celebration planned in the coming months.

🤍 Recovery grows through hope, connection, and community. 🤍
