While addiction does not discriminate, research studies have found that Black Americans have lower rates of recovery from drug addiction following treatment. In addition to the societal stigmas that Black drug users face, recovery treatment options usually do not take their spiritual/religious, socioeconomic and location needs in mind. Veterans also face similar barriers to recovery success which has created a national crisis that ROR is setting out to address. 

We know from our very own lived experiences and research findings that housing and homelessness are issues that continue to systematically discriminate against Veterans and Black Americans. This is why we want to financially support the creation of more recovery housing for these audiences and we need your help to make this a reality. 

Funds provided will go directly to the recovery house to support the individual’s recovery journey. 

With the funds accumulated, we are committed to providing direct relief to the BIPOC- V recovery community, who are struggling during this time.
