SAFE Locator Now Has Comprehensive Recovery Housing Listings

SAFE Project and Partnership to End Addiction launched a revolutionary enhancement to the SAFE Locator (safelocator.org), a comprehensive resource hub for individuals and families grappling with addiction. Teaming up with our new partner, GetHelp, the website now includes a recovery housing locator, establishing itself as the inaugural national platform of its kind. This joint initiative is dedicated to extending prompt support to those impacted by addiction, offering optimism and guiding them on the journey to recovery. 

The SAFE Locator was initially launched by Partnership to End Addiction and SAFE Project, two nonprofits committed to combating the addiction epidemic in our nation. Together, these organizations have long been at the forefront of providing resources and support to individuals and families affected by addiction. The integration of the recovery housing search feature signifies a noteworthy achievement in our collective pursuit to tackle this urgent problem. 

“By adding this recovery housing component to our existing treatment and family supports locators, more people are able to easily find and make informed decisions as they continue onto their recovery path. We’re eager to continue to build upon this portal and add more organizations to the locator,” said Tracy Steffek, Senior Director of SAFE Communities at SAFE Project. “Resources like these shouldn’t be difficult to find and the delay in someone being able to access them can be crucial to whether or not they get the help they’re seeking.” 

“Adding a recovery housing piece to the already robust family services and treatment locator will provide linkage to essential services that help people sustain recovery,” said Emily Feinstein, Executive Vice President, Partnership to End Addiction. “We are proud to be SAFE Project’s partner on this project.” 

The SAFE Locator (safelocator.org) now stands as a comprehensive resource for addiction treatment centers, family support centers, and recovery housing, all in one easy-to-access platform. This collaborative effort represents a significant step forward in the fight against addiction and underscores the power of partnerships in addressing this national crisis.
