California AB1556 establishes criteria for state funding of recovery housing programs.

California AB1556 sets requirements for state funding of recovery housing programs, emphasizing Housing First principles, substance use-specific interventions, and abstinence. It mandates that programs offer permanent or interim housing, provide nonclinical services, and adopt a return-to-use policy approved by the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. The bill also ensures that relapse is not grounds for eviction unless accompanied by another lease violation. Recovery housing programs must offer harm-reduction housing options if a resident returns to substance use.
